 Up in the mornin', out on a job,
Work  like 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  up a - bove,  can't you hear me cryin'?
 Tears all in  my eyes.
 Send down  that cloud  with your silvery linin'.
Lift  me to para - dise.
 Oh show  me that river, take me a  - cross.
Wash  all my troubles  a - way.
 Like that lucky  old sun give  me nothin' to  do
 But roll  around Heaven  all day.
 Like that lucky  old sun give  me nothin' to  do
 But roll  around Heaven  all day.
