Lyrics

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 trying Then one day my woman up and died Lord, she up and died now Oh Lord, she up and died now She wanted to fly 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
