There's a high flyin' 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 |
|
Now the sun it comes up and lights up the day |
|
And when he gets tired, |
|
Lord, he goes on down his way |
|
To the east and to the west |
|
He meets God 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 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, she wanted to die |
|
And the only way to fly is die, die, die |
|
There's a high flyin' 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 |
