Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi 
Gonna find me a piece of the sky 
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll 
Singing hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-ho 
  
Listen, I've been down so low 
That the bottom looked like up 
Once I felt like second saves 
Was enough to fill my cup 
Now I've offered all I have 
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 
Got to find 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 wanna tell you 
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, oh 
Got to 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, yeah 
Hi-de-hi-de-ho 
Hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah 
Hi-de-hi-de-ho 
Hi-de-hi-de-hi 
Talking 'bout hi-de-hi-de-ho
