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 Im wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, cant you know Im 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 Im wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, cant you know Im 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
