Up in the mornin'
9
Out on the job
10
Work like the devil for my pay
11
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
12
But roll around heaven all day.
13
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
14
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
15
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
16
But roll around heaven all day
17
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes
18
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
19
Show me that river, take me across
20
Wash all my troubles away
21
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
22
But roll around heaven all day
23
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
24
Show me that river, take me across
25
Wash all my troubles away
26
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
27
But roll around heaven all day
