That Lucky Old Sun

Lucky old sun Up in the morning Out on the job Work so hard for my pay But that lucky old sun's got nothing to do But roll around heaven all day Show me that river Take me across Wash all my troubles away Whilst that lucky old sun's got nothing to do But roll around heaven all day
