Neil Young, Crazy Horse - High Flyin’ Bird lyrics

There's a high flying 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

Well the sun it comes up
And lights up the day
And when she gets tired
She gets flies upon her way
From the east to the west
She goes down 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 once knew a man
Lord, he worked in the mine
Well he never saw the sun
But then he never stopped trying
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
But the only way to fly was to die
Lord, I'm gonna die lord, I'm gonna die
Well there's a high flying bird
Way up in the sky
I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by?
She's flying so freely in the sky, hey

Got those sit down, can't cry
Oh, lord, gonna die blues, hey hey
