Up in the morning out on the job work like a devil for my pay But that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do Just roll around heaven all day I fuss with my woman toil with my kids sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray But that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do Just roll around heaven all day Dear Lord above can't you see that I'm pining Yes I got tears that are falling from my eyes Why don't you send them that cloud with the silvery lining Lift me to paradise Show me that river and take me across wash all my troubles away Just like that lucky old sun ain't gonna have nothing to do Just roll around heaven all day [ fiddle ] But that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do Just roll around heaven all day Just roll around heaven all day
