Up in the morning out on the 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

Dear Lord above can't you see I'm cryin' tears are in my eyes

Send down the cloud with that silvery take me to paradise

Show me that river and lead me across take all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do but roll around heaven all day

But roll around heaven all day
