Oh Lord, Oh Lord
I'm tired and weary of pain
So much more, so far to go
Forgive me if I complain
Up in the morning, out in the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day (all day)
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day (all day)
My soul is tired and my sad heart's aching
(The joy) Joy and hope all gone
There's no relief for a back that's breaking
Misery lingers on
So many troubles, sorrow and pain
Can't go on living this way
While that lucky old sun
He got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day (all day)
Won't you hear my plea good lord above
Can't you know I'm finding
(The tears) Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise
(Show) Show me that river
(And take) Take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
Give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Roll around heaven, roll around heaven
Roll around heaven all day
Roll around heaven all day
