High Flying Bird

Wheeler

There's a high flying bird way up in the sky

And I wonder does he looks down as he flys on by

He's a riding on the air so easy in the sky

Well Lord look at me here, I'm rooted like a tree here

I got the sit down, I can't cry

Oh Lord I'm gonna die blues

Now the sun comes along, oh Lord it lights up the day

And when he gets tired he flys on over the way

Oh its east to the west and he gets gone every day

Well Lord look at me here, I'm rooted like a tree here

I got the sit down, I can't cry

Oh Lord I'm gonna die blues

I had a man and he lived in a mine

Now he never saw the sun but he never stopped trying

And then one day my man up and died

I said my man up and died, yes my man up and died

Well he wanted to fly

And the only way to fly was to die

Repeat first verse
