Up in the morning

" That lucky old sun"

Sequenced by Ted Keener

Up in the morning,
Out on the job
Work like a devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun
Has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman,
Toil for my kids
Sweat til I'm wrinkled and grey
While the lucky old sun
Has nothing to do
But 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

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
