Hi De Ho

[Chorus]

Hi de ho, hi de hi

Gonna buy me a piece of that sky

Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll

A singin'

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

[Verse 1]

I've been down so low

That the bottom looked like up

Once I thought that second saved

Was enough to fill my cup

Now I offered all I have

And that ain't no way to live

Bein' taken by the ones

Who had the least amount to give, oh yeah

[Chorus]

Hi de ho, hi de hi

Gonna buy me a piece of that sky

Gonna find me some old that old sweet roll

Hi de hi de hi de hi de ho

[Verse 2]

Once I met the devil (Yeah)

He was mighty slick (Woo)

Tempted me with wordly goods (Yeah)

And said that I could have my pick

But when he laid that paper on me (Yeah)

And he showed me where to sign (Woo)

I said, "Thank you very kindly sir

But I'm in too great a need of mind"

[Chorus]

Singing, singing

Hi de hi de ho

Hi de hi de hi de ho

I gotta get me a piece of that big old sky

Gonna find me some old that old sweet roll

Hi de hi de hi de ho

Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?

Singing hi de hi de hi de ho

Let's hit 'em one more time

[Outro]

Oh yeah baby, ah

[Scatting]

Do do do do do, oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Gonna find me some old that old sweet roll

Hi de hi de hi de

Hi de hi de hi de

Hi de hi de hi de ho, oh, oh
