..then Mr. Hendrix commences to sing whilst he's playing lead, which is
more than I can say for myself.
The lyrics are:
There's a red house over yonder.
That's where my baby stays.
Lord, there's a red house over yonder,
Lord, that's where my baby stays.
I ain't been home to see my baby
In ninety-nine and one half days.
Wait a minute, something's wrong here,
The key won't unlock this door.
Wait a minute, something's wrong,
Lord have mercy, this key won't unlock this door.
Something's gone wrong here--
I have a bad, bad feeling
That my baby don't live here no more.
That's alright--I still got my guitar.
Look out, now!

At the ..., Hendrix repeats the 10p7, 7 lick a bunch of times, then
does a bit or two that I've got no idea how to play, then sings:
Well, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back among the hills.
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder acorss the hills.
Even if my baby don't l_v_ me no more,
I know her sister will.
Now play a little blues "see ya" riff, and then play something else.
