Up in the morning out on my job

Work like a devil for my pay

And that lucky old sun

Ain't got nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman toil for my kids

Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray

But that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day

Lord above can't you see

I'm crying tears are in my eyes

Sendin' down my cloud

With that silvery lining take me to paradise

Show me that river lead me across

Take all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun I have nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day

Like that lucky old sun I have nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day
