Up in the morning out on the job I work like the devil for my pay And that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do But roam around heaven all day I fuss with my woman work for my kids Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray While that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do But loaf around heaven all day Lord above don't you see me cryin' Tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with that silvery linin' Lift me to paradise Show me that river take me across Wash all my troubles away Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do But roam around heaven all day Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do But roam around heaven all day
