The Old Man Down The Road lyrics

He take the thunder from the mountain He take a lightning from the sky He bring a strong man to his begging knees 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. He take the thunder from the mountain He take a lightning from the sky He bring a strong man to his begging knees 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...
