The Old Man Down the Road - Vaneese Thomas

He take the thunder from the mountain

He take a lightning from the sky

He bring a 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 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.

(Guitar Solo 1)

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.

(Guitar Solo 2)

You got to, you got to, you got to hidey-hidey-hide.
