I can't imagine [G] [D] how the world would be
[G]
Not to see the gay squirrel climbing [D] an oak tree
To [G] walk through a cornfield
And not see the wild [D] duck fly again
[A] I'd be leaving before the world ever [G] got that bad
To be on my knees and crying
Won't you fly, oh, eagle, fly
You'd better run, better run until dawn
I hope you both will live long enough
To see the setting sun
[G] [D]
[G] [D] The lion ain't got no jungle
[G] The old black bear [D] got no cave
And that old alligator
[G] Is just a [D] bison in the desert
Won't you fly, oh, eagle, fly
You'd better run, better run until dawn
I hope you both will live long enough
To see the setting sun
[G]
[D] On a cold winter morning I could look up in the sky
And I could see the [D] wild geese fly
[C] And on a warm spring day I could look up in the [G] air
And I could see [D] the yellow butterfly
[G] How long has it been since you heard the tiny flutter of the little wing
[D] Of a hummingbird
And [C] I once saw the picture [G] of a buffalo
A [D] thousand in the herd
Won't you fly, oh, eagle, fly
You'd better run, better run until dawn
I hope you both will live long enough
To see the setting sun
Fly, Mr.
Eagle, fly
You'd better [G] run, little cotton, to our home
