Red House
Jimi Hendrix · Are You Experienced? (UK)
ThereÂ’s a Red House over yonder
ThatÂ’s where my baby stays
ThereÂ’s a Red House over yonder, baby
ThatÂ’s where my baby stays
Well, I ainÂ’t been home to see my baby,
in ninety nine and one half days.
'Bout time I see her,
Wait a minute somethingÂ’s wrong here
The key wonÂ’t unlock the door.
Wait a minute somethingÂ’s wrong baby,
Lord, have mercy, this key wonÂ’t unlock this door,
somethingÂ’s goinÂ’ on here.
I have a bad bad feeling
that my baby donÂ’t live here no more.
ThatÂ’s all right, I still got my guitar
Look out now...
I might as well go on back down
go back 'cross yonder over the hill
I might as well go back over yonder
way back over yonder 'cross the hill,
ThatÂ’s where I came from.
‘Cause if my baby don’t love me no more,
I know her sister will
ThatÂ’s where my baby stays
ThereÂ’s a Red House over yonder, baby
ThatÂ’s where my baby stays
Well, I ainÂ’t been home to see my baby,
in ninety nine and one half days.
'Bout time I see her,
Wait a minute somethingÂ’s wrong here
The key wonÂ’t unlock the door.
Wait a minute somethingÂ’s wrong baby,
Lord, have mercy, this key wonÂ’t unlock this door,
somethingÂ’s goinÂ’ on here.
I have a bad bad feeling
that my baby donÂ’t live here no more.
ThatÂ’s all right, I still got my guitar
Look out now...
I might as well go on back down
go back 'cross yonder over the hill
I might as well go back over yonder
way back over yonder 'cross the hill,
ThatÂ’s where I came from.
‘Cause if my baby don’t love me no more,
I know her sister will
Red House
Jimi Hendrix's "Red House" stands as a cornerstone of psychedelic rock, originally released on the landmark 1967 album *Are You Experienced? (UK)*. The track showcases Hendrix's revolutionary guitar techniques, including feedback manipulation and phasing, which helped define the electric guitar's role in rock music. As one of the earliest examples of the psychedelic genre, the song captures the era's experimental spirit and laid groundwork for future artists exploring soundscapes and distortion. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to blend raw energy with melodic structure, cementing Hendrix's status as a visionary figure in music history.
