Up in the mornin', out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
While that lucky old sun
He ain't got nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day
Fuss with my woman, toil with my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun
Still ain't got nothin' to do
But roll around God's Heaven all day
Good Lord above, can't you see I'm cryin'?
Tears are fallin' from my eyes
I know you're up there somewhere
Send down your cloud with a silver linin'
And lift me right on up, right on up to paradise
Show me that river, that river, take me across
And wash-a, wash my troubles away
While that lucky old sun
He ain't got nothin' to do
But roll around your Heaven all day
Now listen
Lord above, I know you see me cryin'
Tears are constantly in my eyes
Now if you hear my plea, I know you'll come see about me
And send down your cloud with a silver linin'
And lift me straight on up to your heavenly paradise
Show me that river, that river, you take me across, ha
And wash-a my troubles away
Yes, while that lucky old sun of a gun
He ain't got nothin' to do, y'all
But roll around Heaven
Roll around Heaven all day
Roll around Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll around Heaven
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
I wanna show you how it rolls, y'all
Come on, everybody
Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll around
Roll, roll, roll, all day long, he just keeps on rollin'
Ha, sometimes you don't see him 'cause it's rainin'
Ha, but he be up there just rollin', rollin'
A-roll, roll, rollin'
Nighttime he sleeps, y'all
All he does is roll, roll, roll, a-roll, roll, rollin'
Come on, y'all, I need you just to roll
