That Lucky Old Sun* Songtext / Lyric

Up in the mornin', out on the job

And 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 around 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 a 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 a 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



I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do

And 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 a silver lining

Lift me to paradise

(Lift me up to paradise)



Show me that river and take me across

Wash all my troubles away



And I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do

Roll around heaven all day, yes, he got nothin' to

Roll around heaven all day, I say, he just roll around heaven all day

Now you say, roll around heaven all day, yes Lord
