Mark Humphreys - High Flyin' Bird lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a high flying bird, flying way up in the sky And i wonder if she looks down, as she goes on by? Well, she's flying so freely in the sky [Chorus] Lord, look at me here I'm rooted like a tree here Got those sit-down can't cry Oh lord, gonna die blues [Verse 2] Well the sun it comes up and lights up the day And when she gets tired, she gets flies upon her way From the east to the west she goes down every day [Chorus] Lord, look at me here I'm rooted like a tree here Got those sit-down, can't cry Oh lord, gonna die blues [Verse 3] Now i once knew a man Lord, he worked in the mine Well He never saw the sun But then he never stopped trying And then one day that old man He up and he died, yeah he up and he died He up and he died Well he wanted to fly But the only way to fly was to die Lord, i'm gonna die Lord, i'm gonna die Well there's a high flying bird, way up in the sky I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by? She's flying so freely in the sky, hey [Chorus] [Outro] Got those sit-down, can't cry Oh, lord, gonna die blues, hey hey
