Lyrics

Ray charles
(Backing vocalists)

Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
I work like the devil for my pay
I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

I fuss with my woman, and toil with my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Dear lord above, don't you see I'm pining?
I got tears all in my eyes
Why don't you send down that cloud with the silver lining
Lift me up to paradise (lift me up to paradise)

Show me that river, why don't you take me across
Wash all my troubles away
I know that lucky old sun, he's got nothing to do
But just roll around heaven all day

(Dear lord above, can't you know I'm pining?
Tears all in my eyes)
Send down that cloud with the silver lining
Lift me to paradise (lift me up to paradise)

So show me that river, and then take me across
Wash all my troubles away
And I know the lucky old sun, he's got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Yes sun

He got nothing but roll around heaven all day

I say he just-a roll around heaven all day

Now you say
(Roll around heaven all day)

Yes lord..
