Up in the morning
Out on the job
Work like the devil
For my pay
But that lucky old sun
Got nothing to do
But just roll around
Heaven all day
Well, I fuss with my woman
I toil with my kids
Sweat till I'm
All wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun
Ain't got nothing to do
But just roll around
Heaven all day
Good Lord above
Don't you hear me pining?
I got teardrops in my eyes
Oh, send down the cloud
With the silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Lord, won't you
Show me the river
Take me across
Let me wash
All my troubles away, Lord
Like the lucky old sun
Give me nothing to do
But just roll around
Heaven all day
Well, now good Lord above
Oh, can't you hear me pining?
I got teardrops in my eyes
Send down the cloud
With the silver lining
Take this boy to paradise
Well, Lord, won't you
Show me the river
Take me across
Lord, let me wash
All my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun
Give me nothing to do
But just roll around
Heaven all day
Lord, Lord
