Hi-De-Ho (That Old Sweet Roll)

Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi

Gonna get me a piece o' the sky

Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll

Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho

I've been down so low

Bottom looked like up

Once I felt like second saves

Was enough to fill my cup

Now I offered all I had

But it ain't no way to live

Being taken by the ones who have the least amount to give

Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi

Gonna get me a piece o' the sky

Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho

Once I met the devil - he was mighty slick

Tempted me with worldly goods

Said I could have my pick

But when he laid the paper on me

And showed me where to sign

I said, "Thank you very kindly

But I'm in too great a need of mine"

Singing hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi

Gonna get me a piece o' that sky

Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Talking about hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Singing hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho
