Lyrics:

Hi de ho, hi de hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that Old Sweet Roll

I said hi de hi de hi de hi de
Ho, 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 offered 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
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singing 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 good-a mood to mind"

Hi de ho, hi de hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
I'm gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I said hi de hi de hi de hi de ho, ho, ho, ho

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

Hi de ho, hi de hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
I'm gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de ho
