Up in the mornin' out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun
Got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Show me that river
Take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
Give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Weary so weary
Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun
Got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman
Toil for my kids
Swear till I'm wrinkled and grey
While that lucky old sun
Has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Good Lord above
Can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud
With the silver lining
Lift me to Paradise
Show me that river
Take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
Give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
