high flyin' bird

Singer:jefferson airplane

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. 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.
