This old man walked from the south on Main This old man walked from the south on Main He walked like a preacher Be he looked just like the son of pain This old man had a red walking cane This old man had a red walking cane He had a finger like the devil A hand from hell hath gained He had a finger like the devil A hand from hell hath gained He had his eyes closed shut As if he must have had a vision And he continued his strut And took a left at the division When his left had turned he was walking Shady Lane
When his left had turned he was walkign Shady Lane They say his feet came before his His hands stayed much the same They say his feet came before him His hands stayed much the same He had his eyes closed shut Yet he moved with a precision And he continued his strut He must have walked a perfect rhythm That's when the old man stopped And he cleared his throat Thats when the old man sang to the folks on shady lane(8x) Glory Glory, Halleliulah. Glory Glory, Halleliulah.
