Carole King - Hi-De-Ho (That Old Sweet Roll) Lyrics

Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
Gonna get 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've been down so low
Bottom looked like up
Once I felt like second saves
Was enough to fill my cup

Now I offered all I had
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
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
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
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
