Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up in the morning
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
Lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do
But roll around Heaven all day
[Verse 2]
Fuss with my woman
Toil with my kids
And sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun
Ain't got nothing to do
But roll around Heaven all day
[Verse 3]
Dear Lord above, can't you see I'm cryin'?
Tears are in my eyes
Send down a cloud with a silvery lining
Take me to paradise
[Verse 4]
Show me that river, lead me across
And take all my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun
I'll have nothing to do
But roll around Heaven all day
[Verse 5]
Lord above, can't you see I'm cryin'?
Tears are in my eyes
Send down a cloud with a silvery lining
Take me to paradise
[Verse 6]
Show me that river, lead me across
And take all my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun
I'll have nothing to do
But roll around Heaven all day
But roll around Heaven all day
Written by: Beasley Smith, Haven Gillespie
