Lyrics

[Intro]
| E7 | - | - | - |
| -  | - | - | - |
| -  | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
            E7
He take the thunder from the mountain
          E7
He take a lightning from the sky
           G                    E7
He bring a strong man to his begging knee
            E7
He make the young girl's mama cry
           E7
You got to hidey-hide
           E7
You got to jump and run
           E7
You got to hidey-hidey-hide

[Chorus]
    C      D                E7
The old man is down the road

[Verse 2]
           E7
He got the voices speakin' riddles
           E7
He got the eye as black as coal
         G                        E7
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
       E7
And he stands right in the road
           E7
You got to hidey-hide
           E7
You got to jump up run away
           E7
You got to hidey-hidey-hide

[Chorus]
    C      D                E7
The old man is down the road

[Verse 3]
E7            E7
  He make the river call your lover
            E7
He make the barking of the hound
      G                    E7
Put a shadow 'cross the window
         E7
When the old man comes around
           E7
You got to hidey-hide
           E7
You got to jump and run again
           E7
You got to hidey-hidey-hide

[Chorus]
    C      D                E7
The old man is down the road
    C      D                E7
The old man is down the road

[Outro]
        | E7 |
