(Verse 1)
He take the [E7]thunder from the mountain
He take the [G]lightning from the sky
He bring the [A]strong man to his bended knee
He make the [E7]young girls mama cry
You got to [E7]hidey-hide
You got to [G]jump and run
You got to [A]hidey hidey-hide
The [C]old man's [D]down the [E7]road
He got the [E7]voices speakin' riddles
He got the [G]eye as black as coal
He got a [A]suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he [E7]stand right in the road
You got to [E7]hidey-hide
You got to [G]jump and run away
You got to [A]hidey hidey-hide
The [C]old man's [D]down the [E7]road
He make the [E7]river call your lover
He make the [G]barking of the hound
Put the [A]shadow across the window
When the [E7]old man comes around
You got to [E7]hidey-hide
You got to [G]jump and run again
You got to [A]hidey hidey-hide
The [C]old man's [D]down the [E7]road
The [C]old man [D]is down the [E7]road
The [C]old man [D]is down the [E7]road
