[Verse 1]
Up in the morning, out on the job
I work like the devil for my pay
[Chorus]
I know that a lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
(Roll around heaven all day)
[Verse 2]
I fuss with my woman, and I toil with my kids
I sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
[Chorus]
I know that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
[Bridge]
Dear Lord above, don't you see I'm pining?
I got tears all in my eyes
Why don't You send down that cloud
With the, the silver lining?
Lift me up to paradise
(Lift me up to paradise)
[Verse 3]
Show me that river, why don't You take me across
And wash all my troubles away?
[Chorus]
I know that lucky old sun now, he's got nothing to do
Huh, but just roll around heaven all day
[Bridge]
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining?
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silver lining
Lift me to paradise
(Lift me up to paradise)
[Verse 4]
Oh, show me that river and take me across
Wash all my troubles away
[Chorus]
And I know the lucky old sun now, he's got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day, yes, sir
[Outro]
He's got nothing but roll around heaven all day
I say he just roll around heaven all day
Now you say it (Roll around heaven all day)
Yes, Lord
