High Flying Bird - Tim O'Brien

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

And I wonder if she looks down as she flies on by

Flyin there so easy in the sky

Oh look at me lord

I’m rooted like a tree lord

Got those sit down, can’t cry

Oh lord I’m gonna die blues

The sun comes around it lights up the day now

And when he gets tired you know he just rolls on his way

From the east to the west he sees his God every day

Oh look at me lord

I’m rooted like a tree lord

Got those sit down, can’t cry

Oh lord I’m gonna die blues

I had a old mule she lived way down in the mine

She ain’t never seen the sun lord but she never stopped tryin

Then one day my mule she up and died

Oh look at me lord

I’m rooted like a tree lord

Got those sit down, can’t cry

Oh lord I’m gonna die blues
