Sam Cooke That Lucky Old Sun song lyrics

Up in the morning, out on the job

Work like the devil for my pay

While that lucky old sun has nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day

I have to fuss with my woman

toil for my kids

Sweat 'till I'm wrinkled and raid

While that lucky old sun has nothing to do

But roll around heaven all day

The Lord above don't you know I'm plying

tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with the 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

Than roll around heaven all day

The Lord above don't you know I'm plying

tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with the 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

Than roll around heaven all day
