No Hiding Place

There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here.
Went to the rocks for to hide my face,
Rocks cried out, "No hiding place,"
There's no hiding place down here.

There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here.
Boatman, boatman row one side,
Can't get to heav'n 'gainst win and tide.
There's no hiding place down here.

There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here.
Sinner man, sinner man beter repent,
Got's going to call you to judgment.
There's no hiding place down here.
