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

Fuss with my woman toil for 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

Dear Lord above can't you see I'm crying

Tears are in my eyes

Send down a cloud with a silver lining

Take me to paradise

Show me that river

Lead me across

And take all my troubles away

Like the lucky old sun I'll have nothing to do

Roll around Heaven all day

Lord above can't you see I'm crying

Tears are in my eyes

Send down a cloud with silver lining

Take me to paradise

Show me a river show me that river

Lead me across and take all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun I'll have nothing to do

But roll around Heaven all day

Roll around Heaven all day
