The Old Man Down The Road (Album Version) - John Fogerty

He take the thunder from the mountain he take the lightning from the sky

He bring the 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 speak in 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

Aaah

He make the river call your lover he make the barking of the hound

Put a shadow 'cross the winner 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

Aaah

You got ta you got ta you got ta hidey-hidey-hide
