Eli's a comin', Eli's a comin'
Eli's a comin' and he's comin' to get me, mama
Eli's comin', hide your heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's a comin', Eli's a comin'
I'm down on my knees
Oh, no, no, no
Eli's comin', hide it, girl
Broken heart, oh, broken heart
Cry but he's never gonna follow
And everywhere I go
Eli's a comin', better hide, girl
But you'll never get away
Eli's comin' better walk
You better better hide your heart
I walked to Apollo and the bay
You better better hide your heart
Your lovin' heart
From the burn and the heartache
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
I'm down on my knees
Hide it, hide it, hide it, hide it
I'm down on my knees
Eli's a comin' and the cards say
Eli's a comin', better hide your heart, your heart
Eli's comin' better walk, walk
Eli's a comin' and he comin' to get me, mama
Eli's a comin', better hide, girl
Eli's a comin', better hide your heart, your heart
And everywhere I go
Hide it, hide it, hide it
I cried at the corners of the square
