Eli's Coming

(C)NL: Editions Altona NV, Leidsegracht 11, Amsterdam

[chorus]:
Eli's comin', Eli's a comin',
Whoa you better hide your heart, your lovin' heart,
Eli's a comin' and the cards say.
Broken heart, oh broken heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl. [2x]
Girl, Eli's a comin', better hide, girl,
Eli's comin', better hide your heart, your heart.
Eli's comin', hide your heart.
You better, better hide your heart.

Eli's comin', better walk, walk, but you'll never get away,
no, you'll never get away from the burn and the heartache.
I walked to Appollo and the bay, and ev'rywhere I go
Eli's a comin', Eli's a comin', Eli's a comin' and he's
comin' to get me mama, I'm down on my knees.

[chorus]

Eli's comin', better walk, cry, but he's never gonna hear,
no, he's never gonna hear, and he ain't gonna follow.
I cried at the corners of the square and ev'rywhere I go
Eli's a comin', Eli's a comin', Eli's a comin' and he's
comin' to get me mama,
I'm down on my knees, I'm down on my knees,
Oh, no, no, no.
Hidin' hidin' hidin'
Eli's a comin', better hide.
Eli's comin', better hide your heart, girl. [2x]
