Neil Young - High Flyin' Bird lyrics

There's a high flyin' bird way up in the sky And I wonder if she look down as she goes on by Just floatin' so free and easy in the sky. Oh, look at me here I'm just rooted like a tree here I got them sit down, can't fly Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues, gonna die blues. Well, the sun comes along and she lights up the day And then when she gets tired, she just flies along on her way From the East to the West she goes down every day. But look at me here I'm just rooted like a tree here I got those sit-down, can't cry Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues, oh I'm gonna die blues. Well, I once knew a man, he worked in a mine Well, he never saw the sun but then he never stopped tryin' And then one day that old man he up and he died, yeah he up and he died, he up and he died. Well, he wanted to fly and the only way to fly was to die, Lord I'm gonna die Lord I'm gonna die, Lord I'm gonna die. There's a high flyin' bird way up in the sky I wonder if she look down as she flies on by Just floatin' so free and easy in the sky. Look at me here I'm just rooted like a tree here I got them sit down, can't fly Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues, Lord, I'm gonna die blues I know I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die.
