Up in the morning Out on the job I work like the devil for my pay I know that lucky old sun Has nothing to do Than roll around heaven all day
I fuss with my woman And I tore with my kids I sweat till I'm wrinkled and grey, yeah I know that lucky old sun Has nothing to do But roll around heaven all day.
Oh Lord above, don't you see I'm pinin' I got tears all in my eyes (Why don't you) send down that cloud with the silver linin' Lift me (up) to paradise
(Oh) show me that river Why don't you (and) take me across (And) wash all my troubles away I know the lucky old sun now He's got nothing to do Than (just) roll around heaven all day
Oh Lord above, don't you see I'm pinin' I got tears all in my eyes (Why don't you) send down that cloud with the silver linin' Lift me (up) to paradise
(Oh) show me that river Why don't you (and) take me across (And) wash all my troubles away I know the lucky old sun now He's got nothing to do Than (just) roll around heaven all day
Yes sir, he got nothin' but roll around heaven all day I say he just roll around heaven all day Now you said (roll around heaven all day) Yes Lord
