Up in the mornin', out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay.
And the lucky old sun ain?t got nothin? to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
But the lucky old sun, ain?t got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Lord above, can?t you see I?m cryin?
Tears are in my eyes.
Send down a cloud with a silver lining,
Take me to paradise.
Show me that river, lead me across
Take all my troubles away
And like that lucky old sun, I?ll have nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day.
And like that lucky old sun, I?ll have nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day.
