Lyrics Old Man Down the Road - John Fogerty

He take-a thunder from the mountain
He take-a lightning from the sky
He bring a strong man to his beggin' 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 is down the road

He got the voices speakin' riddle
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 up run away
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
The old man is down the road

Hide

He make-a river call your lover
He make the barkin' of the hound
Put a shadow 'cross 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 is down the road
The old man is down the road

Hide
You got to, you got to, you to
Hidey-hidey-hide
