Up in the mornin' out on the job, 
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lawd above, (can't you know I'm pinin')
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud (with a silver linin')
Lift me to paradise

Show me that river take me across
Wash all my troubles away
But that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Show me that river take me across
Wash all my troubles away
But that lucky old sun, have nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

(Roll around heaven all day)
