High Flying Bird

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
The sun comes along, lights up the day
And when he gets tired he slides on over the way
East to the west, he gets gone every day

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
I used to have a mule and he worked in the mine
And that ol' mule, he got to be above your mind
Then one day my mule, he up and died
My mule up and died
My mule up and died
Well he had to fly away and the only way to fly was to die

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
