Up in the mornin' out on the job, work like the devil for my pay
Up in the mornin' out on the job, work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Fuss with my woman canvas for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Send down that cloud with a silver linen'
Lift me to paradise
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day
Up in the mornin' out on the job
Up in the mornin' out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Fuss with my woman canvas for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Send down that cloud with a silver linen'
Lift me to paradise
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day
