Lyrics
There's a high flyin' bird, flyin' way up in the sky....
and I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by,
well, she's flyin' so free and easy in the sky,
lord look at me, I'm rooted like a tree
got those sit down , can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Now the sun, it comes up and it lights up the day,
and when he gets tired, lord goes on down his way,
to the east and to the west, he meets God everyday,
Lord look at me, I'm rooted like a tree...
got the sit down , can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Now I had a woman, Lord she lived down by the mine
she ain't never seen the sun Oh, Lord, never stopped crying,
then one day my woman, up and died,
Lord she up and died now....oh lord she up and died now
Hey, she wanted to fly and the only way to fly is die, die, die.....
Well, there's a high flyin' bird, flyin' way up in the sky....
and I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by,
well, she's flyin' so free and easy in the sky,
Hey, lord look at me, I'm rooted like a tree
Got those sit down , can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Got those sit down , can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Hey, Yeah, Hey, Yeah....
