High Flying Bird Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a high flyin' bird
Way up in the sky
And I wonder does he look down
As he flies on by
Well, he's ridin' on the air
So easy in the sky
[Chorus]
But Lord, look at me here
Oh, I'm rooted like a tree here
I've got those sit down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
[Verse 2]
Now, the sun comes along
Oh Lord, it lights up the day
Then when he gets tired
He slides on over the way
Oh Lord, it's east to the west
He get's born ev'ry day
[Chorus]
But Lord, look at me here
Oh, I'm rooted like a tree here
Oh, I've got those sit down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
[Verse 3]
Now, I had a man
He and he lived in a mine
Now, he never saw the sun
But Lord, he never stopped tryin'
Then one day my man up and died
[Chorus]
I said my man up and died
Oh yeah, my man up and died
Oh well, he wanted to fly
And the only way to fly was to die
[Verse 1]
There's a high flyin' bird
Way up in the sky
And I wonder does he look down
As he flies on by
Ridin' on the air
So easy in the sky
[Chorus]
But Lord, look at me here
Oh, I'm rooted like a tree here
I've got those sit down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
[Outro]
Oh, Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Oh Lord, I'm gonna di-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-e
