What Goes Up The Best Of Blood Sweat Tears lyrics

Hi-De-Ho
Blood, Sweat & Tears

Hi-de-ho Hi-de-hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some o' that old sweet roll,
I'm singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
I been down so low__bottom looked like up
Once I thought that second saves was enough to fill my cup
Now I profered all I had
But it ain't no way to live
Bein' taken by the ones who got the least amount to give

(G. Goffin, C. King)
(as sung by BS T, slightly different than original lyrics)

Hi De Ho
Hi De Hi
Gonna Get me
A piece of the pie
Gonna get me
Some of that Old Sweet Roll
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
So I proffered all I got
But it ain't no way to live

If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you babe
You know I hurt myself as well

Is that any way for a man to carry on
you think he wants his little loved one gone?
I love you Baby, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

When I wasn't makin' too much money
you know where my paycheck went
you know I brought it home to baby

Once a girl I knew, all alone and unprepared.

Everyone she knew, runnin' scared.

Then she found him or maybe he found her.

His were gentle words she had never heard before.

He said, "Lisa, listen to me,

Don't you know where you belong?

Darling, Lisa, you can tell me...

You've been silent for too long."

Once another man took her on a younger day,

Lucretia Mac Evil, little girl, what's your game?
Hard luck and trouble, bouind to be yoiur claim to fame.
Tail shakin, home breakin, truckin through twom.
Each and every country mohter's son hangin round.
Drive a young man insane. Evil, that's your name.

Lucretia Mac Evil, that's the thing you're doin fine.
Back seat Delilah, that's your sixth big jug of wine.
