The Old Man Down The Road

He take the thunder from the mountain He take a lightning from the sky He bring a 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 speakin' 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 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 You got to, you got to, you got to Hidey-hidey-hide
