Subject: Lyr Add: NO HIDIN' PLACE
NO HIDIN' PLACE

Chorus:
No hidin' place
No hidin' place
Almos' t' the Judgment Bah
No hidin' place.

'Cause Ah don't know what my sister wan'nuh stay here for

Repeat Chorus:

Ah'm goin' t' run t' the rock for a hidin' place

Repeat Chorus:

Fox got a hole in the groun'
Bird got a nest in the air
There's nare one thing got a hidin' place
But these sinners got none.

Repeat Chorus:

From: Lyria Parrish, Slave Songs of the Georgia Sea Islands (1942; University of Georgia Press, 1992, p. 151)
