Up in the mornin' out on the job Work like the devil for my pay While that lucky old sun He's got has nothin' to do 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 He's has nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day Lord above, can't you see I'm pinin' I've got tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with a silver linin' Take me to paradise Show me that river, take me across Wash all my troubles away While that lucky old sun He's has nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day Send down that cloud with a silver linin' Take me to paradise Show me that river, take me across Wash all my troubles away While that lucky old sun He's got nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day
