Lyrics
Up in the mornin' out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
I sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Sweet Lawd above, don't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Take me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Cause that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Oh good Lawd above, don't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Take me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Cause that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven
Gonna roll around heaven
He's gonna roll around heaven
Roll around heaven all day
Oh, that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
