Artist/Band: Jimi Hendrix
Lyrics for Song: House Burning Down
Lyrics for Album: The Essential Jimi Hendrix, Volumes One And Two [1989]



Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey



Look at the sky turn a hell fire red

Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down

Down, down, down.



Well I asked my friend where is that black smoke comin' from ?

He just coughed and changed the subject and

said oh wa I think it might snow some

So I left him sippin' his tea an' I jumped in my chariot

And rode off to see just why and who could it be this time.



Sisters and brothers daddys mothers standin' 'round cryin'

When I reached the scene the flames were makin' a ghostly whine

So I stood on my horse's back an' I screamed without a crack

I say oh baby why'd you burn your brother's house down ?



Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !



Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord

Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down

Look out the sky turn a hell fire red Lord

Somebody's house is burnin' down down, down down down.



Well someone stepped from the crowd he was nineteen miles high

He shouts retired and disgusted so we paint red through the sky

I said the truth is straight ahead so don't burn yourself

instead

Try to learn instead of burn, hear what I say, yeah, yeah.



So I fin'ly rode away but I'll never forget that day

'Cause when I reached the valley I looked way down cross the way

A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace

And came and taken all the dead away.



Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey !



What'd I say.

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down

Look at the sky turn a hell fire red Lord

Somebody's house is burning down down, down down

Look at the sky, look at the sky.



Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh baby
