Carole King - Hi De Ho lyrics

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

(CHORUS)

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.”

(CHORUS)
