Tom T Hall - That Lucky Old Sun lyrics

rate me

(Beasley Smith - Haven Gillespie)

Up in the morning out on the job

I work like the devil for my pay

And that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do

But roam around heaven all day.

I fuss with my woman work for my kids

Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray

While that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do

But loaf around heaven all day.

Lord above don't you see me cryin'

Tears all in my eyes

Send down that cloud with that silvery linin'

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 roam around heaven all day.

Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do

But roam around heaven all day...
