Up in the mornin', out on a job Work like the devil for my pay While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day Fussed with my woman Toil for my kids Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day Good Lord up above, can't you hear me cryin' Tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with your silvery linin' Lift me to paradise Oh, 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 Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do But roll around heaven all day
