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
|
|
Well 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, 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
|
