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 'till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But … roll around Heaven all day.
Good Lord above … don't you know I'm pinin' …
Tears are in my eyes …
Send down that cloud … with a silver linin' …
Lift me to Paradise …
Show, 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.
Show me that river … please 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 …
