Blood, Sweat & Tears "Hi-De-Ho"

Another great band from my youth. Sit back, sing along if you must and enjoy!!



Hi De Ho
Hi De Hi
Gonna Get me
A piece of the sky
Gonna get me
Some of that Old Sweet Roll
I'm singin' Hi de hi de hi de hi de Hooooo

I've been down so low
Bottom looked like up
Once I thought that seconds saves
was enough to fill my cup
Now I offered all I got
And that ain't no way to live
Being taken by the ones who got
The least amount to give

Hi de ho
Hi de hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
I'm singing hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.



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

Hi de ho
Hi de hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky Lord knows
I'm gonna get me some of that old sweet roll
Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.
Hi de ho
Hi de hi
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 hoooo

Blood, Sweat and Tears with David Clayton-Thomas

On of my favorite groups of my youth was "Blood, Sweat, and Tears." Below is a video of one of their songs. I played trumpet in my high school band and loved groups that had trumpets. David Clayton-Thomas' vcoals were inspiring.

Enjoy!!!
