Lyrics Judy Henske - High Flying Bird

There's a high flyin' bird, flying way up in the sky
And I wonder does he looks down, as she flies on by?
Well, he's riding on the air so freely in the sky

But Lord, look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
I got to sit down can't cry
Oh Lord, gonna die blues

Now the sun comes along and lights up the day
And when he gets tired, he goes on down his way
To the east and to the west he meets God every day

But Lord, look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
I got to sit down can't cry
Oh Lord, gonna die blues

Now I had a man
He lived down by the mine
She ain't never seen the sun
Oh Lord, never stopped crying

Then one day my man up and died
I said my man up and died
Oh yeah, my man up and died
She wanted to die and the only way to fly is die

Well there's a high flyin' bird, flying way up in the sky
And I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by?
Well, he's flying so freely in the sky, hey

Lord, look at me here
I'm rooted like a tree here
I got to sit down can't cry
Oh, Lord, gonna die blues

I got to sit down can't cry
Oh, Lord, gonna die blues, hey hey
