The Lord God Bird

In the delta sun, down in ArkansasIt's the great god bird with its altar callAnd the sewing machine, the industrial godOn the great bayou where they saw it fallIt's the great god bird down in ArkansasAnd the hunters beware, o'er the fisher's fowlAnd paradise might close from its safe flight flawedIt's the great god bird through it allAnd the watchers beware, lest they see it foalAnd paradise might laugh when at last it fallsAnd the sewing machine, the industrial godIt's the great god bird with its altar callYes, it's the great god bird with its altar callYes, it's the great god bird through it all
