That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the morning, out on the job

Work like the devil for my pay

While that lucky old sun's got nothing to do

But roll, roll around heaven all day

Now, I've got to, work for my family, and toil for my kids

Sweat until I'm wrinkled and gray, gray

While that lucky old sun's got nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord up above, don't you know I'm pining?

Tears all in, all in my eyes

Send down Your cloud with a silver lining

And lift me to paradise, oh

Show me, show me that river, and take me across

And wash all of my troubles, wash them away

While that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do

But roll around Your heaven all day

Now, good Lord, dear Lord

Can't you see, can't you see that I'm trying?

Tears all in, all in my eyes

Now send down Your cloud with a silver lining

And lift me, lift me to paradise, and oh yeah[Verse 4]

Show me, show me that river, and Lord, take me across

And I wonder will You wash all of my troubles, Lord, wash them away

While that lucky old sun's got nothing to do

But roll, roll around heaven all day

That lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do

But roll, roll, roll around heaven all day, yeah
