Up in the morning, out on the job,
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids,
Sweat 'till I'm wrinkled and grey. While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above can't you know I'm pining,
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silverlining,
Take me to Paradise

Show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away. Like that lucky old sun with nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above can't you know I'm pining,
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silverlining,
Take me to Paradise

Show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away. Like that lucky old sun with nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven, just rolling round your heaven,
My God, let me roll 'round heaven all day
