Up in the mornin` out on the job work
like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin` to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat `til I`m wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin` to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above can`t you know I`m pinin`
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin`
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and
wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
give me nothin` to do
But roll around heaven all day
Up in the mornin` out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin` to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat `til I`m wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin` to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above can`t you know I`m pinin`
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin`
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothin` to do
But roll around heaven all day
