Hi De Ho

Hi de ho, hi de hi
Gonna find me a piece of that sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

I've been down so low
That the bottom looked like up
Once I thought that second saves
Was enough to fill my cup
Now I offered all I had
And it ain't no way to live
Bein' taken by the ones
Who have the least amount to give, oh yeah

Hi de ho, hi de hi
I'm gonna find me a piece of that sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

Once I met the devil
He was mighty slick
He tempted me with worldly goods
And said that I could have my pick
But when he laid the paper on me
And he showed me where to sign
I said, "Thank you very kindly, sir
but I'm in too great a need of mind."

Singin', singin' hi de ho, hi de hi
I gotta give me a piece of that big ol' sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Hi de hi de hi de hi
Oh mamma why oh why oh why
Singin' hi de hi de hi de ho

Let's hit it one more time
Yeah, baby...

Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho...
