He take a lightning from the sky
 He bring a strong man to his begging knee
 He make the youhg 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 riddle

 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
 theold 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.
