"That Lucky Old Sun" lyrics
"That Lucky Old Sun"
(originally by Frankie Laine)
Up in the morning, out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
While that lucky old sun here ain't 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
But that lucky old sun still ain't got nothin' to do
But roll around God's heaven all day
Good Lord above, can't you see I'm crying
Tears are falling from my eyes
I know you're out there somewhere
Send down your cloud with a silver lining
And lift me right on up, right on up to paradise
Show me that river, that river, take me across
And wash all, wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun here ain't got nothin' to do
But roll around your heaven all day
Listen
Lord above, I know you see me crying
Tears are constantly in my eyes
Now if you hear my plea, I know you'll come see about me
And send down your cloud with a silver lining
And lift me straight on up to your heavenly paradise
Show me that river, that river, you take me across
And wash all my troubles away
Yes like that lucky old sun of a gun ain't got nothin' to do
You'll roll around heaven
Roll around heaven all day
Roll around heaven heaven heaven
Roll roll roll roll roll around heaven
Roll roll roll roll...

It brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
