The Lord God Bird
In the delta sun, down in Arkansas
It's the great god bird with its altar call
And the sewing machine, the industrial god
On the great bayou where they saw it fall
It's the great god bird down in Arkansas
And the hunters beware, o'er the fisher's fowl
And paradise might close from its safe flight flawed
It's the great god bird through it all
And the watchers beware, lest they see it foal
And paradise might laugh when at last it falls
And the sewing machine, the industrial god
It's the great god bird with its altar call
Yes, it's the great god bird with its altar call
Yes, it's the great god bird through it all
