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

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

Good Lord, up above, can't you hear me cryin'?
Tears are rollin' down my eyes
Send in a cloud with a silver linin'
Lead me to paradise.
Oh, 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
