Up in the morning
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun
Has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman
Toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and grey
While that lucky old sun
Has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lord above
Don't you know I'm pining
Tears are in my eyes
Send down that cloud
With a silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Show, 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
Show me that river
Please, 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
