Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You ought to see my eagle bird
He have great big eyes
You ought to see my eagle bird
He have great big eyes
It makes me feel so good, yeah
Just to see my eagle bird smile
[Verse 2]
He long and tall
Have great long wings
He long and tall
Have great long wings
When he spreads his wings over me, yeah
Brings love, joy, and everything
[Verse 3]
I'ma take my eagle bird
Gon' fly way away somewhere
I'ma take my eagle bird
Gon' fly way away somewhere
I don't know where we're stopping, yeah
But we'll be in this world somewhere
[Verse 4]
I'ma going overseas
I'ma take my eagle bird with me
I'm going overseas
I'ma take my eagle bird with me
Everything that I do
I'ma do it just for me
[Verse 5]
I'ma take my eagle bird and fly way away
We gon' be alive in there together
I'ma take my eagle bird and fly way away
We gon' be alive in there together
I say only every rainy day
"Every bird of a feather should stick together"
[Verse 6]
I don't want nobody
Messing with my eagle bird
I don't want nobody
Messing with my eagle bird
[Verse 7]
If he be my little boy
I'll surely be his little girl
If he be my little boy
I'll surely be his little girl
[Verse 8]
Eagle bird, yeah
