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
