There's a high flying bird, flying way up in the sky
And i wonder if she looks down, as she goes on by?
Well, she's flying so freely in the sky
Lord, look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
Got those sit-down can't cry
Oh lord, gonna die blues
Well the sun it comes up and lights up the day
And when she gets tired, she gets flies upon her way
From the east to the west she goes down every day
Lord, look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
Got those sit-down, can't cry
Oh lord, gonna die blues
Now i once knew a man
Lord, he worked in the mine
Well He never saw the sun
But then he never stopped trying
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
But the only way to fly was to die
Lord, i'm gonna die
Lord, i'm gonna die
Well there's a high flying bird, way up in the sky
I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by?
She's flying so freely in the sky, hey
Lord, look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
Got those sit-down can't cry
Oh lord, gonna die blues
Got those sit-down, can't cry
Oh, lord, gonna die blues, hey hey
