Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
[Verse 2]
I've been down so low
Bottom looked like up
Once I thought that seconds saves was enough to fill my cup
Now I offered all I got
And that ain't no way to live
Bein' taken by the ones who got the least amount to give
[Verse 3]
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
[Verse 4]
Once I met the Devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods, said, "You can have your pick"
But when he laid that paper on me
And he showed me where to sign
I said, "Thank you very kindly, but I'm in too good a mood of mind"
[Verse 5]
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky, Lord knows
I'm gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
[Verse 6]
(Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi) Oh, get it children
(Gonna get me a piece of the sky)
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
Lead on, children (Singing)
[Verse 7]
(Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi)
(Gonna get me a piece of the sky)
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
