High Flying Bird

High Flying Bird

There's a high flying bird way up in the sky
And I wonder if she looks down as she flies on by
Riding on the air so easy in the sky
Lord, look at me - Look at me
I'm rooted like a tree - Look at me
I got those sit down, can't cry
Can't fly, gonna die blues
Well the sun comes along, and lights up the day
When she gets tired she just moves on; on her way
Rising in the east, she lights up the day
Oh, she lights up the day - Look at me
Oh, she lights up the day - Look at me
When she gets tired she moves on; on her way
I had a man, lived down by the mine
He never saw the sun but never stopped tryin'
Then one day my man, up and died died died
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
I got those sit down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
