Up in the mornin'
|
Out on the job
|
Work like the devil for my pay
|
But that lucky old sun got nothin' 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 got nothin' to do
|
But roll around heaven all day
|
Dear 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
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude - First Line Of "Dear Lord"]
|
|
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
