Up in the morning, out on the job Work like the devil for my pay While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray While that lucky old sun got nothing to do But roll around heaven all day Good Lord above, can't you hear me crying Tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with your silver lining Lift me to Paradise Oh, show me that 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 roll around heaven all day
