That Old Sweet Roll (Hi-De-Ho)

Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi

Gonna find me a piece of the sky

Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll

Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-ho

Listen, I've been down so low

That the bottom looked like up

Once I felt like second saves

Was enough to fill my cup

Now I've offered all I have

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

Got to find me a piece of the sky

Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll

Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho

I wanna tell you

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, oh

Got to find me a piece of that sky

Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll

Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah

Hi-de-hi-de-ho

Hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah

Hi-de-hi-de-ho

Hi-de-hi-de-hi
