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 bended knee

He make the young girls mama cry

You got to hidey-hide

You got to jump and run

You got to hidey hidey-hide

The old man's 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 stand right in the road

You got to hidey-hide

You got to jump and run away

You got to hidey hidey-hide

The old man's down the road

He make the river call your lover

He make the barking of the hound

Put the shadow across 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's down the road

The old man is down the road

The old man is down the road
