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
