Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'
Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

I've been down so low
Bottom looked like up
Once I thought that seconds saves
Was enough to fill my cup

So I proffered all I got
But it 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 of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'
Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

Once I met the Devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods
Said; you can have your pick

But when he laid that 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

Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'
Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi           
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'
Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'...

Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...
