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 know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me 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 Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me 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 Transcribed by Robin Hood These lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned above and do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheet music, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets.
