that lucky old sun

up in the mornin'

out on the job

work like the devil for my pay

while that lucky old sun got nothin' to do

but roll around heaven all day

fuss with my woman

toil for my kids

sweat till i'm wrinkled and gray

while that lucky old sun got nothin' to do

but roll around heaven all day

good lord above

can't you hear me crying

tears all in my eyes

send down that cloud with your silver lining

lift me to paradise

oh

show me that river

take me across

wash all my troubles away

like that lucky old sun

give me nothing to do

but roll around heaven all day

like that lucky old sun

give me nothing to do

but roll around heaven all day
