Eli's coming, Eli's coming
(Eli's a-coming)
Well, you better hide your heart, your loving heart
Eli's a-coming and the cards say, a broken heart

Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl

Girl, Eli's a-coming, you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-coming, you better hide

Girl, Eli's a-coming, you better hide
Girl, Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl
(Hide it)
You 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 burning a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-coming
(She walked but she never got away)

Eli's a-coming

Eli's a-coming and he's coming to git ya
(She walked but she walked but)
Get down on your knees
(She walked but she never got away)

Girl, Eli's coming, hide your heart, girl
(Hide it)
You 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 burning a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-coming
