Song Lyrics

Eli's coming, Eli's coming
Girl, you'd better hide your heart
Your lovin' heart
Eli's coming and the cards say

Broken heart, oh broken heart, oh broken heart
Eli's coming, hide your heart girl
Eli's coming, hide your heart girl
Girl, Eli's coming you'd better hide
Girl, Eli's coming you'd better hide
You'd better hide your heart, your heart
Eli's coming, hide your heart
You'd better better hide your heart

Eli's coming, better walk
Walk, but you'll never get away
No you'll never get away from the burn and the heartache
I walk to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go

Eli's coming (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's coming (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's coming and he's coming to get you mama
I'm down on my knees
Oh broken heart

Eli's coming, oh, Eli's coming
I say, you know, you coming
Gotta get away
Get, get, get, get away
From the man
Coming now, whoa, whoa, whoa

Hide your broken heart
Hide your broken heart
Whoa, whoa, whoa, girl
Eli's coming you'd better hide
Girl, Eli's coming you'd better hide
You'd better hide your heart
Eli's coming hide your heart
You'd better better hide your heart
Eli's coming better walk

Cry, but he's never gonna hear
No he's never gonna hear and he ain't gonna follow
I cry to the corners of the square
Everywhere I go

Eli's coming, Eli's coming
Eli's coming and he's coming to get you mama
I'm down on my knees
Oh baby won't you hide your broken heart

Hide it, hide it, hide it, hide it
Hide it, hide it, hide it, hide it

Eli's coming, Eli's coming
Yeah, you'd better hide your heart
