Lyrics
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 Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do But 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 a silver lining Lift me to Paradise

Show me that river Take me across And wash all my troubles away Like that lucky old sun Give me nothing to do But roll around heaven all day

Lord above Can't you know I'm pining Tears in my eyes Send down that cloud with a silver lining Lift me to Paradise

Show me that river Take me across And wash all my troubles away Like that lucky old sun Give me nothing to do But roll 'round heaven all day
