Up in the morning, out on the job
Workin like a devil for my pay
like the lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

I toil for my woman,Fuss with my kids
Working til I'm wrinkled and grey
like the lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above can't you here me pining
Tears all in my ol eyes
Send down your cloud the one with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise

Show me the river, take me across
Wash all of my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above can't you hear me pining
Tears all in ol Jerry's eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise

Show me the river, take me across
Wash all Jerry Lee's troubles away
Like the lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Roll around, roll around heaven all day
Roll around, roll around heaven all day
