E7
He take-a thunder from the mountain
G
He take-a lightnin' from the sky
A
He bring the strong man to his beggin' knees
E7
He make the young girl's mama cry
CHORUS
E7
You got to hidey-hide
G
You got to jump and run
A
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
C D E7
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, same pattern as chorus)
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)
