Up in the mornin', out on the job   And I work like the devil for my pay      I know that a lucky old sun has nothin' to do   But roll around heaven all day   (Roll around heaven all day)      I fuss with my woman and I toil with my kids   I sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray      I know that a lucky old sun has nothin' to do   But roll around heaven all day      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 a silver lining, lift me up to paradise   (Lift me up to paradise)      Show me that river, why don't You take me across   And wash all my troubles away      I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do   And just roll around heaven all day      Good Lord above, can't You know I'm pining   Tears all in my eyes   Send down that cloud with a silver lining   Lift me to paradise   (Lift me up to paradise)      Show me that river and take me across   Wash all my troubles away      And I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothin' to do   Roll around heaven all day, yes, he got nothin' to   Roll around heaven all day, I say, he just roll around heaven all day   Now you say, roll around heaven all day, yes Lord
