Lyrics
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 singin', hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
I've been down so long, bottom looked like up
Once I thought that second saves was enough to fill my cup
Now I offered all I got, and that ain't no way to live
Of being taken by the ones ho got the least amount to give
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 singin', hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
Once I met the devil, he was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods
He said that you could have your pick
But when he laid the paper on me
And he showed me where to sign
I said, thank you very kindly, but I'm in too great a need of mind
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky, God knows
I'm gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singin', hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
(Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi) get up children
(Gonna get me a piece of the sky)
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singin', hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho and I'm sayin'
(Hi-de-ho) hi-de-ho (hi-de-hi)
(Gonna get me a piece of the sky) ooh
Gonna get me some of that old sweet, sweet roll
Singin' hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
