Carla Thomas - Hi-De-Ho (That Old Sweet Roll) lyrics

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 Talking 'bout hi-de-hi-de-ho
