Текст песни: High Flyin' Bird + перевод

There’s a high flyin' bird way up in the sky

And I wonder if she looks down on me as she flies on by?

While she’s riding so free and easy in the sky

But look at me here

Lord, I’m just rooted like a tree here

And I got the sit-down-can't fly, Oh Lord I’m gonna die blues

Well the sun comes along and it lights up the day

Well it brings the daytime and it goes on it’s way

From the East to the West it travels every day

But look at me here

Lord, I’m just rooted like a tree here

And I got the sit-down-can't fly, Oh Lord I’m gonna die blues

Well I once knew a man

He worked down in the mine

Well he never saw the sun and he never stopped crying

Then one day his woman up and died

She just upped and died

You know she just upped and dies

Well, she wanted to fly

The only way to fly was to die

There’s a high flyin' bird way up in the sky

And I wonder if she looks down as she flies on by?

While she’s riding so easy in the sky

(X2) But look at me here

Lord, I’m just rooted like a tree here

And I got the sit-down-can't fly, Oh Lord I’m gonna die blues
