Text:No Hidin' Place
Tune:[Dere's no hidin' place down dere]
Composer:J. Jefferson Cleveland, 1937-

141. No Hidin' Place

1 Dere's no hidin' place down dere,
Dere's no hidin' place down dere.
Oh, I went to the rock to hide my face,
The rock cried out, "No hidin' place";
Dere's no hidin' place down dere.

2 Oh, de rock cried, "I'm burnin' too,"
Oh, de rock cried, "I'm burnin' too,"
Oh, de rock cried out, "I'm burnin' too,
I want-a go to hebben as well as you."
Dere's no hidin' place down dere.

3 Oh, de sinner-man he gambled an' fell,
Oh, de sinner-man he gambled an' fell,
Oh, de sinner-man gambled, he gambled an' fell,
He wanted to go to hebben, but he had to go to hell.
Dere's no hidin' place down dere.
