Blood Sweat And Tears - Hi De Ho Lyrics

Hi-de-ho, Hi-de-hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky,
Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll,
Singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho.

I 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 had, but it ain't no way to live
Bein' taken by the ones who got the least amount to give

Hi-de-ho, Hi-de-hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky,
Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll,
Singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho.

Once I met the devil and he was mighty slick,
Tempted me with worldly goods and said "You can have your pick."
But when he laid that 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."

Hi-de-ho, Hi-de-hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky,
Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll,
Singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho.
