[04:51.00]There's a high flyin' bird, way up in the sky now,
[04:51.00]You know I wonder if she looks down, as she flies on by?
[04:51.00]She's flying on the air so easily in the sky.
[04:51.00]Lord, look at me here,
[04:51.00]I'm rooted like a tree here, yes I am now.
[04:51.00]I got those sit-down,
[04:51.00]Can't cry Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues.
[04:51.00]You know the sun come around and lights up the day now,
[04:51.00]And when he gets tired, you know it roles on on his way
[04:51.00]To the east and to the west,
[04:51.00]You know he meets God every day.
[04:51.00]Lord, look at me here,
[04:51.00]I'm rooted like a tree here, yes I am now.
[04:51.00]I got those sit-down,
[04:51.00]Can't cry Oh Lord, I'm gonna die blues.
[04:51.00]Now I had a woman
[04:51.00]Lord, she lived down by the mine,
[04:51.00]She ain't never seen the sun,
[04:51.00]Oh Lord, never stopped crying.
[04:51.00]Then one day my man ,
[04:51.00]Lord, she up and died now.
[04:51.00]Oh Lord, she up and died now.
[04:51.00]She wanted to die,
[04:51.00]And the only way to fly is die, die, die.
[04:51.00]There's a high flyin' bird, flying way up in the sky,
[04:51.00]And I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by?
[04:51.00]Well, she's flying so freely in the sky.
[04:51.00]Lord, look at me here,
[04:51.00]I'm rooted like a tree here,
[04:51.00]Got those sit-down, can't cry,
[04:51.00]Oh, Lord, gonna die blues.
