That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the mornin', out on the job

Work like the devil for my pay

But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do

But roll 'round heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids

Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray

While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do

But roll 'round heaven all day

Good Lord above, can't you see I'm pining?

Tears in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver lining

Lift me to paradise

Show me that river, take me across

And wash all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do

But roll 'round heaven all day

Oh Lord above, can't you know I'm pining?

Tears in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver lining

Lift me to paradise

Show me that river, take me across

And wash all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin', nothin' to do

But roll 'round heaven all day
