(12 measures of Em) He take-a thunder from the mountain He take-a lightnin' from the sky C He bring the strong man to his beggin' knees Em He make the young girl's mama cry Chorus: You got to hidey-hide You got to jump and run You got to hidey-hidey-hide C B7 Em The old man is down the road Verse 2: He got the voices speakin' riddles He got eyes as black as coal He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide And he stands right in the road (chorus, with "away" added to end of 2nd line) (instrumental) Verse 3: 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 (chorus; this time, add "again" to end of 2nd line and sing 4th line twice) (play Em continuously and fade)
