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 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
