Up in the mornin', out on the job, 
C5             F5     D5      C5   C5 C5 
Work like the devil for my pay, 
         F5         D5     C5       C5 F5 
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to  do 
     C5     C5   D5   G5   C5 
But roll around heaven all day. 
 
 
C5                   A5 
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids, 
C5               F5       D5   C5   C5 C5 
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray, 
            F5        D5     C5       C5 F5 
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to  do 
C5     C5   D5   G5   C5 
But roll around heaven all day.

Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining,  
          D5    C5 
Tears all in my eyes 
A5             E5           D5     C5 
Send down that cloud with a silver lining,  
D5          D5   D5   G5 
Lift me to Par - a - dise 
 
 
C5                    A5 
Show me that river, take me across, 
C5             F5     D5   C5   C5 C5 
Wash all my troubles a - way; 
           F5        D5   D5    C5     C5    F5  Bb5 
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing    to  do 
     C5     C5   D5   G5   C5 
But roll around heaven all day.
