[Verse 1] There's a high flyin' bird way up in the sky And I wonder does she look down as she flies on by? Just floating so free and easy in the sky [Chorus] Oh, look at me here I'm just rooted like a tree here I've got them sit down can't fly Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues Gonna die [Verse 2] Well the sun comes along and she lights up the day And then when she gets tired, she just flies along on her way From the east to the west, she goes down every day [Chorus] But look at me here I'm just rooted like a tree here I've got them sit down, can't fly Oh Lord I'm gonna die blues Lord, I'm gonna die here [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Yeah, I once knew a man, he worked in a mine Well he never saw the sun but then he never stopped tryin' And then one day that old man he up and he died [Chorus] Yeah, he up and he died He up and he died Well, he wanted to fly And the only way to fly was to die Lord, I'm gonna die Lord, I'm gonna die Lord, I'm gonna die [Verse 1] There's a high flyin' bird way up in the sky (High flyin' bird) I wonder if she looks down as she flies on by?
