Up in the morning, out on the job

Work like the devil for my pay

But the lucky old sun has nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day



Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids

Sweat til I'm wrinkled and grey

While the lucky old sun has nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day



Good Lord above can't you know I'm pining

Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver lining

Lift me to paradise



Show me the river, take me across

Wash all my troubles away

Like the lucky old sun give me nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day



Good Lord above can't you know I'm pining

Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver lining

Lift me to paradise



Show me the river, take me across

Wash all my troubles away

Like the lucky old sun give me nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day



Roll around, roll around heaven all day

Roll around, roll around heaven all day
