That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the mornin', out on the job

I work like the devil for my pay

I know that a lucky old sun has nothin' to do

But roll around Heaven all day

Roll 'round Heaven all day

I fuss with my woman, and I toil with my kids

I sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray

I know that lucky old sun has nothin' to do

But roll around Heaven all day

Dear Lord above, don't you see I'm pining?

I got tears all in my eyes

Why don't You send down that cloud with the, the silver lining?

Lift me up to paradise

Lift me up to paradise

Show me that river, why don't You take me across

And wash all my troubles away?

And I know that lucky old sun now, he's got nothin' to do

Huh, but just roll around Heaven all day

Good Lord above, can't you know I'm pining?

Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with the silver lining

Lift me to paradise

Lift me up to paradise

Oh, show me that river and then take me across

Wash all my troubles away

And I know the lucky old sun now, he's got nothin' to do

But roll around Heaven all day, yes, sir

He got nothin' but roll around Heaven all day

I say he just a-roll around Heaven all day, now you say it, mm-hmm

Roll around Heaven all day

Yes, Lord
