(Haven Gillespie - Beasley Smith)

Up in the morning out on my job
Work like the devil for my pay
Ah, 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 can't you know
I'm pinin' tears all in my eyes
Send down the cloud with the silvery linin'
Lift me to paradise.

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.

Good Lord above can't you know
I'm pinin' tears all in my eyes
Send down the cloud with the silvery linin'
Lift me to paradise.

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...
