NO HIDING-PLACE DOWN THERE

Went down to the rocks to hide my face, (3 times)
The rocks cried out no hiding-place,
No hiding-place down there.

Pharoah's daughter lookin' for roses, (3 times)
Stumpted her toe and fell over Moses,
No hiding-place down there.

Sister Mary wears a golden chain, (3 times)
And every link's in Jesus name,
No hiding-place down there.

Sinnaman sitting on the gates of hell, (3 times)
The gates flew open and in he fell,
No hiding-place down there.

Sinnaman row your boat one side, (3 times)
Cause you can't get to heaven on the ebbing tide,
No hiding-place down there.

Cause hell is deep and hell is wide, (3 times)
You can't touch the bottom and you can't touch the side,
No hiding-place down there.
