High Flyin' Bird (Recorded live on Mountain Stage)

High Flyin' Bird

There's a high flyin' bird
Flyin' way up in the sky
And I wonder if she looks down as she flies on by
Flyin' there so easy in the sky
O look at me Lord
I'm rooted like a tree Lord
Got those sit down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Sun comes around
Lights up the day now
When he gets tired you know he just rolls on his way
From the east to the west he sees God every day
O look at me Lord
I'm rooted like a tree Lord
Got those sit down, can't cry
Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues
Well I had an old mule
She lived way down in the mine - Way down in the mine
She ain't never seen the sun Lord, but she never stopped tryin'
Then one day my mule she up and died - She up and died
O look at me Lord
I'm rooted like a tree Lord
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
