That Lucky Old Sun
Sam Cooke · Classic Album & Singles Collection [2009]
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 'til 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 crying
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 crying
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
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 'til 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 crying
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 crying
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
