Hi‐De‐Ho Songtext
von 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
Bein? 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 I? m 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
