No Hiding Place
Arr. by J.S. Hamilton, '06

I'm a Baptist bred'n'a Baptist born.
I'm a Baptist bred'n'a Baptist born.
I'm a Baptist bred'n'a Baptist born.
An' when I'm dead there's a Baptist gone.

No hiding place down there,
No hiding place down
Hallelujah, lujah
No hiding place down there.
Oh some come a limpin'
And a some come a lame
And some come a-shoutin' in the master's name
No hiding place down there.

I seen a man a-sittin' on the Gates of Hell,
I seen a man a-sittin' on the Gates of Hell.
I seen a man a-sittin' on the Gates of Hell,
I seen a man a-stumble an' I seen a man fall.

No hiding place down there.
No hiding place down Hallelujah, lu jah,
No hiding place down there.
Oh some come a-limpin', an' some come a-lame.
An' some come a-shoutin' in the master name.
No hiding place down there.
