That Lucky Old Sun
Lyrics: Haven Gillespie Music: Beasley Smith
Recorded by Frankie Laine
#1 on the Billboard charts  for 8 weeks in 1949
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 hear me pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down your cloud with a silver lining, lift me up 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

Dear Lord above, can't you hear me pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down your cloud with a silver lining, lift me up 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
