Hi De Ho — Carole King

HI DE HO by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

Hi de ho, hi de hi Gonna get me a piece of the sky Gotta find me some o' that old sweet roll A 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

Once I met the devil – he was mighty slick Tempted me with wordly goods And said 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.”
