As planned Iāve extended this even further and re-recorded it with the new lyrics and a guitar part; itās also a bit better quality. Itās so cool that so many different versions of this song have sprung up already! I recommend having a scroll through them all on @jus-teaāāās tumblr.
(Em)Daddyās at the (B7)food store, (Em)Mummyās out of (B7)town,
Sheās (Em)working at the (B7)hospital since (Em)Rhona (B7)came to (Em)town,
(Am)Hide away, hide away, Miss (Em)Rhonaās come to town,
(Am)Hide away, (Em)hide away, sheās come to (B7)take us (Em)down.
Miss Rhonaās at the doorstep, Iāll keep six feet away,
But Grandma needs the paper, Iāll take her one today,
Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhonaās come to stay,
Hide away, hide away, we canāt come out to play.
Iām missing all my friends, though we keep in touch by phone,
Iām learning what it is to truly be alone,
Hide away, hide away, even though you moan,
Hide away, hide away, or weāll be lying prone.
My love she says she misses the twinkle of my eyes,
But Rhona stalks the streets and to meet would be unwise,
Hide away, hide away, we hear the desperate cries,
Hide away, hide away, or see the bodies rise.
I feel myself a-coughinā, I havenāt got a mask,
Itās work or die for me, though, so who am I to ask,
Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhonaās on the task,
Hide away, hide away, sheās come for me at last.
I need to see the sunlight, Iāve not been out in days,
And hereās a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say,
Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away,
Hide away, hide away, she took us down today.
The days all run together, I havenāt changed my shirt,
We may be getting restless, but keep on the alert,
Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhonaās quite the flirt,
Hide away, hide away, her touch is not inert.
Hide away, hide away, even though it hurts,
Hide away, hide away, or six feet will be dirt.
