That Old Sweet Roll (hi-de-ho)

(gerry goffin / carole king)



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
