That Lucky Old Sun

Bing Crosby · Old Groaner 2 [2007]

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



Show me that river, take me across

Wash all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do

But roll around heaven all day



(Right from the dawnin', through till the evenin')

(Nothin' but slavin', and all the time I pray)

Weary, so weary



(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 has nothin' to do)

(But roll around heaven all day)



Good Lord above, can't you know I'm pinin'

Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with a silver lining

Lift me to Paradise



Show me that river, take me across

And wash all my troubles away

Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do

But roll around heaven all day
