Up in the mornin'
Out on the
job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that
lucky old sun got 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 got nothin' to
do
But roll around heaven all day

Dear
Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all
in my eyes
Send down that 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


Send down that 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
