High Flyin’ Bird
[Verse 1]
There's a high flyin' bird way up in the sky
And I wonder does she look down as she flies on by?
Just floating so free and easy in the sky
[Chorus]
Oh, look at me here
I'm just rooted like a tree here
I've got them sit down can't fly
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Gonna die
[Verse 2]
Well the sun comes along and she lights up the day
And when she gets tired, she just flies along on her way
From the east to the west, she goes down every day
[Chorus]
But look at me here
I'm just rooted like a tree here
I've got them sit down, can't fly
Oh Lord I'm gonna die blues
Lord, I'm gonna die here
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I once knew a man
He worked in a mine
Well he never saw the sun
But then he never stopped tryin'
And then one day that old man he up and he died
Yeah, he up and he died
He up and he died
Well, he wanted to fly
And the only way to fly was to die
Lord, I'm gonna die
Lord, I'm gonna die
Lord, I'm gonna die
[Verse 1]
There's a high flyin' bird way up in the sky (High flyin' bird)
I wonder if she looks down as she flies on by? (High flyin' bird)
She's flying so free and easy in the sky
[Chorus]
Look at me here
I'm just rooted like a tree here (High flyin' bird)
I've got them sit down, can't fly
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues (High flyin' bird)
Lord I'm gonna die blues
I know I'm gonna die blues (High flyin' bird)
Lord I'm gonna die blues
[Outro]
I'm gonna die blues
(High flyin' bird)
I'm gonna die blues
(High flyin' bird)
(High flyin' bird)
(High flyin' bird)
