Easy Rider movie - High Flyin' Bird lyrics

rate me

Song by Richie Havens<br /><br>

There's a high flyin' bird, flying way up in the sky,<br>

And I wonder if she looks down, as she goes on by?<br>

Well, she's flying so freely in the sky.<br>

<br>

Lord, look at me here,<br>

I'm rooted like a tree here,<br>

Got those sit-down,<br>

can't cry Oh Lord, gonna die blues.<br>

<br>

Now the sun it comes up and lights up the day,<br>

And when he gets tired, Lord, he goes on down his way,<br>

To the east and to the west,<br>

He meets God every day.<br>

<br>

Lord, look at me here,<br>

I'm rooted like a tree here,<br>

Got those sit-down, can't cry<br>

Oh Lord, gonna die blues.<br>

<br>

Now I had a woman <br>

Lord, she lived down by the mine, <br>

She ain't never seen the sun,<br>

Oh Lord, never stopped crying.<br>

<br>

Then one day my woman up and died,<br>

Lord, she up and died now.<br>

Oh Lord, she up and died now.<br>

She wanted to die,<br>

And the only way to fly is die, die, die.<br>

<br>

There's a high flyin' bird, flying way up in the sky,<br>

And I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by?<br>

Well, she's flying so freely in the sky.<br>

<br>

Lord, look at me here,<br>

I'm rooted like a tree here,<br>

Got those sit-down, can't cry,<br>

Oh, Lord, gonna die blues.<br>

<br>
