As planned I’ve extended this even further and re-recorded it with the new lyrics and a guitar part; it’s also a bit better quality. It’s so cool that so many different versions of this song have sprung up already! I recommend having a scroll through them all on @jus-tea‘s tumblr.
(Em)Daddy’s at the (B7)food store, (Em)Mummy’s out of (B7)town,
She’s (Em)working at the (B7)hospital since (Em)Rhona (B7)came to (Em)town,
(Am)Hide away, hide away, Miss (Em)Rhona’s come to town,
(Am)Hide away, (Em)hide away, she’s come to (B7)take us (Em)down.
Miss Rhona’s at the doorstep, I’ll keep six feet away,
But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her one today,
Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to stay,
Hide away, hide away, we can’t come out to play.
I’m missing all my friends, though we keep in touch by phone,
I’m learning what it is to truly be alone,
Hide away, hide away, even though you moan,
Hide away, hide away, or we’ll 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-coughin’, I haven’t got a mask,
It’s work or die for me, though, so who am I to ask,
Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s on the task,
Hide away, hide away, she’s come for me at last.
I need to see the sunlight, I’ve not been out in days,
And here’s 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 haven’t changed my shirt,
We may be getting restless, but keep on the alert,
Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s 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.
