Lyrics:

Sittin' in the morning sun
And watching all the birds passing by
Oh how sweet they sing
And oh how much I wish that I could fly
And I try
I said, I try
I try
I really try, try, try

But I got to pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again
I got to pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again

Sittin' in the midday sun
And wondering where my meal's coming from
After working so hard
Not even piece of bread at the yard
And I said, I try
Oh Lord, I try
Said, I try
I really try, try, try

But I got to pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again
I got to pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over
Start all over

Sittin' in the evening sun
And watching the same birds passing by
Sittin' and wondering
And waiting for the time for me to fly
And I try
I said, I try
Good Lord, I try
I really try, try, try

But I got to pick myself up
Dust myself off
Start all over, again
I got to pick myself up
Dust myself off over and over
And start all over
Start all over

So long and I just find
It was just a waste of time
So long and I just find
I been been wasting all my time

I've got to pick myself up
And dust myself off
And start all over
