E7
He take-a thunder from the mountain

He take-a lightnin' from the sky

             G                 E7
He bring the strong man to his beggin' knees

He make the young girl's mama cry [Chorus] You got to hidey-hide You got to jump and run 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) (play E7 continuously and fade)
