High Flying Bird
Billy Edd Wheeler

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
