Lyrics

There's a high flyin' bird
Way up in the sky now
Yes, and I wonder if she looks down
As she flies on by
Well, she's ridin' on the air so easy in the sky
Lord, look at me, yeah
I'm rooted like a tree here (Yes I am now)
I got the sit-down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Oh, when I used to love a man
He worked in a mine, Lord
Oh well, he never saw the sun
But he never stopped tryin'
Ooh, well then one day my man, he up and died
My man up and died, Lord
My man up and died, Lord (Yes he did now)
Oh well, he wanted to fly
And the only way to fly was to die
There's a high flyin' bird
Way up in the sky now
Yes, and I wonder if she looks down
As she flies on by
Well, she's ridin' on the air so easy in the sky
Lord, look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here (Yes I am now)
I got the sit-down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Yeah, I'm gonna die now
I got the sit-down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Yes I do, yes I do
