Verse 1

I've been down so low; bottom looked like up.

Once I thought that seconds saves was e-nough to fill my cup.

 So I proffered all I got, but it ain't no way to live;

 Being taken by the ones who got the least amount to give.

Gonna get me a piece of the sky.

Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll, singin';

Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

Verse 2

Once I met the Devil; he was mighty slick.

Tempted me with worldly goods, said; you can have your pick.

 But when he laid that 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 mine.
