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 grey
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above can't you know I'm cryin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down the clouds weather a silver lining
Lift me to paradise

Show me the river
Take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
Give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above can't you know I'm cryin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down the cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise

Show me that river
Take me across wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
Give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
