High Flyin' Bird

High Flyin' Bird

There's a high flying bird, way up in the sky now

Yes, and I wonder if she looks down as she flies on by 

Well, she's riding on the air so easy in the sky 

And, Lord, look at me (yeah) 

I'm rooted like a tree (Oh yeah, yes, I am now) 

I've got the sit down, can't cry, oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues 

Oh, when I use to love a man, he worked in a mine, Lord 

Oh, well, he never saw the sun, but he never stopped trying 

Oh, then one day my man, he up and died 

My man up and died, Lord 

My man up and died, Lord (yes, he did) 

Well, he wanted to fly and the only way to fly was to die 

There's a high flyin' bird, way up in the sky, now 

And, yes, I wonder if she looks down as she flies on by 

Well, she's riding on the air so easy in the sky 

Hey, lord look at me (Yeah) 

I'm rooted like a tree (Hey, yes, I am now) 

Got the sit down, can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues 

(Yeah, I'm going to die now) 

Got the sit down, can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues 

(Yes I am, yes I am)
