Hi de ho, hi de hi |
|
Gonna 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 |
|
I've been down so long |
|
That the bottom looked like up |
|
Once I felt like second saves |
|
Was enough to fill my cup |
|
Now I offered all I have |
|
But it ain't no way to live |
|
Being taken by the ones |
|
Who have the least amount to give, oh yeah |
|
Hi de ho, hi de hi |
|
I'm gonna 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 |
|
I wanna tell you |
|
Once I met the devil, he was mighty slick |
|
He tempted me with worldly goods |
|
Said that I could have my pick |
|
But when he laid the paper on me |
|
And he showed me where to sign |
|
I said, "Thank you very kindly, sir |
|
But I'm too great a-need of mind" |
|
Singing, singing hi de, hi de ho |
|
Hi de, hi de, hi de oh |
|
I gotta get me a piece of that big old sky |
|
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll |
|
Hi de, hi de, hi de hi |
|
Oh mama, why oh, why oh, why? |
|
Singing hi de, hi de, hi de, hi de ho |
|
Let's hit 'em one more time |
|
Oh yeah, baby |
|
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll |
|
Singing, hi de, hi de, hi de hi |
|
Hi de, hi de, hi de hi |
|
Hi de, hi de, hi de, hi de ho, oh |
