That Lucky Old Sun Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

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, but roll around heaven all day
