Neil Young & Crazy Horse - High Flyin' Bird lyrics

rate me

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, she's flying so freely in the sky

Lord, look at me here

I'm rooted like a tree here

Got those sit-down can't cry

Oh Lord, gonna die blues

Now the sun it comes up and lights up the day

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

To the east and to the west he meets God every day

Lord, look at me here

I'm rooted like a tree here

Got those sit-down, can't cry

Oh Lord, gonna die blues

Now I had a woman

Lord, she lived down by the mine

She ain't never seen the sun

Oh Lord, never stopped crying

Then one day my woman up and died

Lord, she up and died now

Oh Lord, she up and died now

She wanted to die and the only way to fly is die, die, 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, she's flying so freely in the sky, hey

Lord, look at me here

I'm rooted like a tree here

Got those sit-down, can't cry

Oh, Lord, gonna die blues

Got those sit-down, can't cry

Oh, Lord, gonna die blues, hey hey
