Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
"Hi de Ank Tum"

I'm gathering rainbows and picking up dreams
Got a heart full of heaven and a pocket full of schemes
Hi de ank tum daddyo, daddyo,
Hi de, hi de ank tum daddyo.

I'm busy as the river flowing down to the sea
Got a sweet sweet baby who's a fool about me
Whenever there's trouble she's a standin' at my side
And when the goin' gets so rough I just flow with the tide.

Hi de ank tum daddyo, daddyo
Hi de, hi de ank tum daddyo.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm pickin' up sunshine and handin' up smile
It's a long road to travel but I love every mile
Hi de ank tum daddyo, daddyo
Hi de, hi de ank tum daddyo.

I'm busy as the river flowing down to the sea
Got a sweet sweet baby who's a fool about me
Whenever there's trouble she's a standin' at my side
And when the goin' gets so rough I just flow with the tide.

Hi de ank tum daddyo, daddyo
Hi de, hi de ank tum daddyo...
