he take a thunder from the mountain
he take a lightning from the sky
he bring a strong man
to his beggin knees
he make a young girls 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
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
ah you got to you got to
you got to hidey hidey hide
