The Old Man Down The Road - John Fogerty

He take the thunder from the mountain He take the lightning from the sky He bring the strong man to his bended knee He make the young girls mama cry

You got to hidey-hide You got to jump and run You got to hidey hidey-hide The old man's 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 stand right in the road

You got to hidey-hide You got to jump and run away You got to hidey hidey-hide The old man's down the road

He make the river call your lover He make the barking of the hound Put the shadow across 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's down the road

The old man is down the road The old man is down the road
