Intro: Verse Up in the mornin', 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 Melody Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining Tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with a silver lining And lift me to Paradise Show me that river, take me across Wash all my troubles away Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do But roll around heaven all day Interlude: Dear 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 Wash all my troubles away Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do But roll around heaven all day
