I've been hunting the internet and this site for a (very catchy) song my grandfather used to sing me, mostly because I know I'm missing a verse, and I'm having more difficulty finding it than I expected. I've found a ton of songs that have some aspects in common with it, but none that is even a near match. This is sung with a very bouncy, quick-paced, rollicking sort of rhythm (totally inappropriate to the content) with the chorus being so much fun to sing that it's hard to stop even when one has run out of verses. These are the two I remember: Went to the rock to hide my face Went to the rock to hide my face Oh! Went to the rock to hide my face, the rock cried out "No hiding place!" No hiding place down there. (chorus) HALlelujah-lujah, no hiding place down there. Oh, some come a-limping, some come a-lame some come along with a ball and chain. No hiding place down there! Sinner, row your boat from side to side. Sinner, row your boat from side to side. Oh! Sinner row your boat from side to side: gotta get to heaven on the evening tide. No hiding place down there. (chorus) .... I'm not sure whether the rock was the first or third verse, in fact, but I know there's one more at least. I apologize if this is already been posted somewhere. I'm not expert at searching the forum. But from what I was able to see, I didn't find it. If anyone has any information about it, I'd be very grateful. |

I went and listened to a recording of the Carter Family singing it, and the melody (and tempo!) is different but it's not impossible to imagine that shifting from one to the other. It has that characteristic line structure, but it doesn't have the refrain at all, which is possibly the most identifying aspect of the version I learned. (Also, I've never heard those three verses, so I'm still hunting the one I've forgotten, but that just makes me three verses the richer.) Anyway, even with the differences, that puts me at least a little closer, so thank you! |

This one gives the lyrics, and maybe your missing verse is in there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etYHWZyRSMU The theme is "no hiding place down HERE" i.e., on the earth, when the Day of Judgment comes. |
