That Old Sweet Roll Lyrics - Dusty Springfield

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
