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 around 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 around heaven all day

Good Lawd above

Can't you know I'm pinin'

Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver linin'

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 around heaven all day

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 around 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 around heaven all day

Good Lawd above

Can't you know I'm pinin'

Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver linin'

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 around heaven all day
