That Old Sweet Roll (Hi-De-Ho)

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
