Up in the mornin', out on the jo
Work like the devil for my pay
Lucky old sun ain't got nothin'
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
I sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun ain't got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Dear Lord above can't You see I'm cryin'?
Tears are in my eyes
Send down a cloud with a silver linin'
Take me to paradise

Show me that river
Lead me across and take all my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun I'll have nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Lord above can't You see I'm cryin'?
And tears are in my eyes
Send down a cloud with a silver linin'
Take me to paradise

Show me that river, show me that river
Lead me across and take all my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun I'll have nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
But roll around heaven all day
