That Lucky Old Sun

(album: For Teenagers Only - 1960)

Up in the morning, out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat 'till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Good Lord above, don't you know I'm pinin'?
Tears are in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to Paradise

Show, show me that river, take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around Heaven all day

Show me that river, please, take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around Heaven all day
