Lyrics High Flying Bird - Tim O'Brien

High Flying Bird

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
