He take the thunder from the mountain He take a lightning from the sky He bring a 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 speakin' 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 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 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 You got to, you got to, you got to Hidey-hidey-hide
@@Desot00 sometimes you do. I think they got some of these wrong. Is he saying 'shadow across the winter' or shadow across the window? It sounds like Winter to me.
@@jh5124 To be fair, the comments won't always get it right either, i feel like if the lyric was "window," the word shadow would probably be shutter instead which you can also hear
The brilliance of these lyrics... I was 25 when this song came out and fired up to outwit the old man down the road. After 40 years of traveling, I can now see the old man--suitcase covered in rattlesnake skin--awaiting me ahead.
I was 16 that Christmas. I also got Roger Daltrey's Under A Raging Moon. The person that bought these for me HAD to tell me HOW DIFFICULT finding these tapes was and I should REALLY appreciate what she did for me. Some people made a habit of ruining Christmas almost every year.
I never realized that this was structured highly similarly to CCR's "Run Through the Jungle--;" but, even after I've read that, I don't mind it--: This song is at least as good as that other one, and I wouldn't have noticed the similarity had I not otherwise read about it. Thanks for writing and singing both of them, John.
I listened to this when I was a kid…Now I’m the old man down the road!
So you made the girl's mamma criy? put a shadow xross the winda? etc.
Was it a good ride?
Same here. It's not that bad, though.
Did you notice some of the lyrics /words are wrong
John Fogerty is an amazing vocalist
Somgwriter*
Dude this would of been a CCR song!!!! He is great!!!!!!!!!!
Songs like this brings back childhood memories. Not that I was born when this came out , but my dad raised me on this stuff.
Exactly! I was born in 81 and remember playing in the barn with this on cassette lol
Mine too.
Pappy raised You right!😉
So is the old man now in your yard
Born 71
My father just passed and he loved this song
He take the thunder from the mountain
He take a lightning from the sky
He bring a 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 speakin' 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
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
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
You got to, you got to, you got to
Hidey-hidey-hide
WTF
@@speedfreak8200 It's the Lyric's =WTF is wrong with you??!! 😁
@@aryansigrid well i think they said "WTF" because you dont really need the lyrics in the comments on a lyric video

Memories 1987 88 maybe. Now I'm the oldman down the road with many memories.
One of his best songs ever 👍❤

Hope you have a great time. Prayers
@@somebody670What is worse, is to look in a Mirror and realize The Old Man is staring back.🧓
@@jamesappling1212 no. Not at all. We're only passing thru this world. Take care!
Yep ! I'm 44 and I often think back to my mid 20s.
tengo 67 años creci con esta musica me ace recordar mi barrio y mi juventud

John Fogerty is a National Treasure
No me canso de escucharla, maestro Fogherty
I’m gay I like hot guys! Helix studio is my shit
@@mikeschulte4271 I suggest you go to a Mental Health Dept. so they can lock you in there with your Issue's!
Loving this song from Texas. Never heard this song til my brother played it as I installed his head unit in his 1995 Ford ranger. Swamp color too.
i was 15 years old when i got this on cassette for Christmas 1985.
I was 16 that Christmas.
I also got Roger Daltrey's Under A Raging Moon.
The person that bought these for me HAD to tell me HOW DIFFICULT finding these tapes was and I should REALLY appreciate what she did for me.
Some people made a habit of ruining Christmas almost every year.
Amazing solo
I love this Man's music. He is one of my favorite people.
Just found the song and I'm lovin' it!
Great song for the 80's recession, Reaganomics years. Music like this will never happen again!
Reaganomics saved the mess he inherited from one term Jimmy...
The Best Of John Fogarty
he was great and still is
My Dad sent me this!! ❤❤

It’s actually an exact copy and there old label tried to sue them for plagerism but John forggerty won
New York city loving this
WHAT A JOURNEY LIFE IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 54 GOING STRONG
This is a cool song!
A shame that CCR had to disband, but it looks like John still knows how to make a great track.
John would be great without CCR
But CCR would never be great without John
Great upload. Thanks
Sooooo nice

I love this song. A great depiction of the devil. John Fogerty is a legend
Great lyrics. Faustian!
