He take the thunder from the mountainHe take a lightning from the skyHe bring a strong man to his begging kneeHe make the young girl's mama cry
You got to hidey-hideYou got to jump and runYou got to hidey-hidey-hideThe old man is down the road
He got the voices speakin' riddlesHe got the eye as black as coalHe got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hideAnd he stands right in the road
You got to hidey-hideYou got to jump up run awayYou got to hidey-hidey-hideThe old man is down the road
He make the river call your loverHe make the barking of the houndPut a shadow 'cross the windowWhen the old man comes around
You got to hidey-hideYou got to jump and run againYou got to hidey-hidey-hideThe old man is down the roadThe old man is down the road
You got to, you got to, you got to
Hidey-hidey-hide
