Up in the mornin' Out on the job Work like the devil for my pay But that lucky old sun got nothing to do But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids Sweat till Im wrinkled and gray While that lucky old sun has nothing to do But roll around heaven all day
Good Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with the silver lining, lift me to paradise Show me that 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 But roll around heaven all day
Good Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with the silver lining, lift me to paradise Show me that river, take me across and wash all my troubles away
Show me that 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
