Songtexte Hi-De-Ho That Old Sweet Roll - Single Version - Blood, Sweat & Tears

Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singin hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
I've been down so long, bottom looked like up
Once I thought that second saves
Was enough to fill my cup
Now I offered all I got
And that ain't no way to live
Being taken by the ones
Who got the least amount to give
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singin hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
Once I met the devil, he was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods
He said that you could have your pick
But when he laid the paper on me
And he showed me where to sign
I said, Thank you very kindly
But Im in too great a need of mind
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky, God knows
I'm gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm 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
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
