Up in the mornin' out on the job
I work like the devil for my pay
I know that a lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day
Roll 'round Heaven all day
I fuss with my woman and I toil with my kids
I sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
I know that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day
Dear Lord above don't you see I'm pining?
I got tears all in my eyes
Why don't you send down that cloud with the the silver lining?
Lift me up to paradise
Lift me up to paradise
Show me that river why don't you take me across
And wash all my troubles away?
And I know that lucky old sun now he's got nothin' to do
Huh but just 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 silver lining
Lift me to paradise
Lift me up to paradise
Oh show me that river and then take me across
Wash all my troubles away
And I know the lucky old sun now he's got nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day yes sir
He got nothin' but roll around Heaven all day
I say he just a-roll around Heaven all day now you say it mm-hmm
Roll around Heaven all day
Yes Lord
