Hi-De-Ho lyrics

Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi

Gonna get me a piece o' the sky

Gonna get 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 thought that second saves

Was enough to fill my cup

Now I offered all I got

And that ain't no way to live

Being taken by the ones who got the least amount to give

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

He said: You can 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 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
