group: red clay ramblers -- album: twisted laurel;

bluejay pulled a four horse plow
sparrow why can't you?
'cuase my legs is little and long
and they might might getbroke in two

red bird sittin' on a sycamore limb
singin' out his soul
big black snake craled up that tree
and he swallowed that poor boy whole

wild geese flyin' through the air
through the sky so blue
they're now a floatin' where the south wind blows
so why not me and you

i always took the sequence of verses to refer
1) the difficulties of physical life on earth
2) the surrender to death
3) the reward in heaven
