that old sweet roll

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
