Up in the morning, out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
While that lucky old sun has got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

I fuss with my lover, toil for my kids
Sweat til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord up above, can't you know I'm pining?
Tears all in my eyes
Send me a cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise

Show me the 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

Lord up above, can't you know I'm pining?
Tears in my eyes
Send me a cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise

Show me 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 just roll around heaven all day, day
