Eli's comin'

Eli's comin' (Eli's a-comin')

Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart

Eli's a-comin' and the cards say... a broken heart

Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl

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

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

Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)
