That Lucky Old Sun
LEON RUSSELL · Life Journey 2014 · Track 03 of 09
Up in the mornin' out on the job, work like the devil for my pay But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day Fuss with my woman toil for my kids Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin' Tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with a silver linin' 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

Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin' Tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with a silver linin' 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
