Down at the house with the red light

She works from seven til dawn

You'll find her there any time that you like

Some days a week she'll be on

Down at the house with the red light



I was a boy not to sure of myself

When I was first taken down

Down to the house with the red light

Two miles west of town

I paid my fee and I went on in



Into the house with the red light

Pull up a chair, up the stairs

The key was cold and dampened my hand

Opened the door, heard her say;

"Into my room and set yourself down"



She let us lie on this shiny brass bed

Curtains and flowers in her hair

She played my soul and she shattered my head

Could not believe I was there

Down at the house with the red light



I fell in love with that lady

First love I knew, she gave me

Seven days a week, you can find her

Down at the house with the red light





I fell in love with that lady
