That Lucky Old Sun - Johnny Cash Lyrics

That Lucky Old Sun

Up in the mornin', out on a job,
Work like the devil for my pay.
While that lucky old sun got 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 got nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
Good Lord up above, can't you hear me cryin'?
Tears all in my eyes.
Send down that cloud with your silvery linin',
Lift me to paradise.

Oh, show me that river, take me across,
Wash all my troubles away.
Like that lucky old sun, gimme nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.

Like that lucky old sun, gimme nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
