High Flyin' Bird Lyrics - Americana - Neil Young & Crazy Horse

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

And I wonder does she looks down, as she flies 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 

(I'm 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 them sit-down, can't fly 

Oh Lord I'm gonna die blues 

(I'm gonna die blues) 

Now I once knew a man 

He worked in a mine 

Well he never saw the sun 

But then he never stopped tryin' 

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 die and the only way to fly was to die 

Lord I'm gonna die blues 

Lord I'm gonna die blues 

Lord I'm gonna die blues 

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

I wonder does she looks down as she flies on by 

Just ridin' so free and easy in the sky 

Look at me here 

I'm rooted like a tree here 

I got them sit-down, can't fly 

Oh Lord I'm gonna die blues 

God I'm gonna die blues 

I know I'm gonna die blues 

Oh I'm gonna die blues 

Gonna die blues 

Gonna die blues
