That Old Sweet Roll (Hi-De-Ho) [*]

Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah
Listen, I've been down so low
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
The least amount to give

Once I felt like second saves
Singing, "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho"
Said I could have my pick
But it ain't no way to live
Was enough to fill my cup
Singing, "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-ho"
But I'm in too great a need of mine

Hi-de-hi-de-ho

That the bottom looked like up
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
Got to find me a piece of the sky
He was mighty slick
Being taken by the ones who have

And showed me where to sign

Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Tempted me with worldly goods
Singing "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho", yeah
Got to find me a piece of that sky
Singing, "Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi"
I said "Thank you" very kindly
Singing, "Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi", oh
I wanna tell you, once I met the devil
But when he laid the paper on me
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Now I've offered all I have
