NO HIDING PLACE

Oh, who's all dem people dressed in red?
Oh, who's all dem people dressed in red?
All dem people dress in red
Dey am de folk what Moses fed,
And there's no hiding place down there!

CHORUS
No hiding place down there,
No hiding place down there--
I went to the Rock for to hide my face,
And de Rock cried out, "No hiding place--
No hiding place down there!"

Oh, who's all dem people dressed in white?
Oh, who's all dem people dressed in white?
All dem people dress in white,
Dey am de chillern of de Israelite,
And there's no hiding place down there!

Sinner-man a-sittin' on de gates of hell,
Sinner-man a-sittin' on de gates of hell--
Sinerman sittin' on de dates of hell,
De gate swung in, and de sinner-man fell--
And there's no hiding place down there!
