He take the thunder from the mountain, he take the lightning from the sky,
|
He bring the strong man to his begging knee, he make the young girl's mama cry.
|
|
You got to hidey-hide, you got to jump and run;
|
You got to hidey-hidey-hide, the Old Man is down the road.
|
|
He got the voices speak in riddles, he got the eye as black as coal,
|
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide, and he stands right in the road.
|
|
You got to hidey-hide, you got to jump up run away;
|
You got to hidey-hidey-hide, the Old Man is down the road.
|
|
Aaah!
|
|
He make the river call your lover, he make the barking of the hound,
|
Put a shadow 'cross the window, when the Old Man comes around.
|
|
You got to hidey-hide, you got to jump and run again;
|
You got to hidey-hidey-hide, the Old Man is down the road.
|
The Old Man is down the road.
|
|
Aaah!
|
You got ta, you got ta, you got ta, hidey-hidey-hide!
