up in the morning out on the job work like the devil for my pay but that lucky old sun got nothin to do but roll around heaven all day show me that river take me across wash all my troubles away like that lucky old sun give me nothin to do but roll around heaven all day weary so weary work like the devil for my pay but 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 good lord above can t you know i m pining tears all in my eyes send down that cloud with a silver lining lift me to paradise show me that river take me across and wash all my troubles away like that lucky old sun give me nothin to do but roll around heaven all day
