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, or the fishers fall,

And paradise might close from it's safe flight flawed,

It's the great god bird through it all.

And the watchers beware, lest they see it fall,

And paradise might laugh when at last it falls,

And the sewing machine, the industrial god,

It's the great god bird with it's altar call.

Yes, it's the great god bird with its altar call,

Yes, it's the great god bird through it all!

Nice song! And it's great to hear on NPR(2014) that the bird may not be extinct after all.

The disappearance of the bird is compared to the disappearance of modern religion

This song is about the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, the largest woodpecker in America. It is now most likely extinct. People called it the "Lord God Bird" or "The Great God Bird" because when someone saw it, they would exclaim "Lord God.... what a bird" The last one seen was in Arkansas.

It came out on NPR when they talked about the discovery of the Great Lord Bird thought to be extinct. 2005 - It is not on an album , but he does it in concert.

I'm going to be really sad if he considers this his "Arkansas" release.

I don't believe that he ever intended for this song to be on an official release. It definitely isn't an Illinois outtake; this song would have been on his Arkansas album!
