Red Brick House

a song—???—key of ???

there's a red brick house
where the sinners lead the way
they wander around
to keep the simple boys at bay
they are deep-eyed girls
who let their swagger speak
to the wide-eyed boys
when their constitution's weak

with their hands on high
and their bellies sinking low
in this red brick house
as their daughters start to show

there's a red brick house
where the Devil keeps his word
to keep the boys at bay
as a scarecrow haunts the birds
there are pretty girls
for whom the summer flowers bloom
there are light-skinned boys
that are trapped inside their rooms

with their hands on high
and their bellies sinking low
in this red brick house
as their daughters start to show

there's a red brick house
where the sinners lead the way
and they close their house
at the break of every day

with their hands on high
and their bellies sinking low
in this red brick house
as their daughters start to show
