Up in the mornin, out on the job
Wo rk like the devi l for my pay
While that lu cky ole sun, got nothin to do
But ro ll around Heav en all day
(2x)
Fu ss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat 'til Im wrinkled and gray
While that lucky ole sun, got nothin to do
But roll around Heaven all day
Good Lo rd up above , cant you hear m e cryin
Te ars all in my eyes
Send do wn that clou d, with your silver y linin
Li ft me to paradise
Up in the mornin, out on the job
Wo rk like the devi l for my pay
While that lu cky ole sun, got nothin to do
But ro ll around Heav en all day
Oh show me that river, take me across
Wa sh all my trou bles away
Like that lu cky ole sun, give me nothin to do
Bu t roll around Heav en all day
Like that lu cky ole sun, give me nothin to do
But ro ll aorund Heav en, all day
