There's a high flying bird up in the sky
And I wonder if that bird looks down as he flies by
Riding on the air so easy in the sky

Sun comes along, lights up the sky
And when he gets tired he slides on over the way
East to the west he gets gone every day

But lord, look at me here
Rooted like a tree here
I got the sit down, can't cry
Oh lord, I'm gonna die blues

I used to have an old man, he worked in the mines
He never saw the sunlight by, oh lord he kept on a-trying
Then one day my daddy he up and died

My old man up and died
My daddy up and died
He had to fly away
And the only way to fly was to die

There's a high flying bird up in the sky
And I wonder if that bird looks down as he flies by
Riding on the air so easy in the sky

But lord, look at me here
Rooted like a tree here
I got the sit down, can't cry
Oh lord, I'm gonna die blues
