The Old Man Down The Road

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 make 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 and run again You got to hidey-hidey-hide The old man is down the road He got 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 up, run again You got to hidey-hidey-hide The old man is down the road The old man is down the road
