BIG BIRD (written by Eddie Floyd right after Otis Redding's death; while Eddie waited in Europe for an airplane that had a mechanical problem to take him back for the funeral) Open up the sky Cause I'm coming up to you So send down your wings And let 'em bring me to you You know I'm standing at the station, ready to go Oh, big 'ol aeroplane, I'm trusting you so Get on up big bird, to my baby's love Get on up big bird, to my baby's love Get on up big bird, Cause I got to make it, Just get on up Cause I got to make it, Get on up With me down here And you up there Now all we know is It ain't no fair 'Cause I got love packed in my baggage Holdin' my claim check, Gonna be with my baby And never comin' back Get on up big bird, to my baby's love Get on up big bird, to my baby's love Get on up big bird, Up Up Just get on up Open up the sky Cause I'm coming up to you So send down your wings And let 'em bring me to you Get on up big bird, to my baby's love Get on up big bird, to my baby's love Get on up big bird, Cause I got to make it, Just get on up Cause I got to make it, Get on up Get on up big bird, Get on up big bird, Get on up big bird, Get on up big bird,
