There's a high flying blue bird in the sky now
You know I wonder if she looks down on knees as she flies on by
She's driving on the east so easy in the sky, yeah
And Lord look at me (yeah)
I'm rooted like a tree (Oh yeah, yes, I am now)
I've got those sit down, can't cry,
oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues (yeah, yeah)
And now the sun, it comes up and it lights up the day and night
and when he gets tired, he got all over on down his way
East to west, he meets God in the sky everyday
Lord look at me (yeah)
I'm rooted like a tree (Oh yeah, yes, I am now)
I've got those sit down, can't cry,
oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues (yeah, yeah)
got the sit down, can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm 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
Hey, she wanted to fly and the only way to fly is die, die,
die.....
Well, there's a high flyin' bird, flyin' way up in the sky....
and I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by,
well, she's flyin' so free and easy in the sky,
Hey, lord look at me, I'm rooted like a tree
Got those sit down , can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Got those sit down , can't cry, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Hey, Yeah, Hey, Yeah....
