That Old Sweet Roll (Hi-De-Ho) — Dusty Springfield

(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
