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...
