That Lucky Old Sun
Words & Music by Haven Gillespie & Beasley SmithRecorded by Frankie Laine, 1949 (#1 of 8 weeks)
C Am
Up in the mornin', out on the job,
C F Dm7 C CM7 C7
Work like the devil for my pay,
F Dm7 C C/B Fm
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
C C/B Dm7 G7 C
But roll around heaven all day.
C Am
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids,
C F Dm7 C CM7 C7
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray,
F Dm7 C C/B Fm
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
C C/B Dm7 G7 C
But roll around heaven all day.
Bridge:
Am Em Dm7 C
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining,
Dm7 C
Tears all in my eyes
Am Em Dm7 C
Send down that cloud with a silver lining,
D Dm Dm7 G7
Lift me to Par - a - dise
C Am
Show me that river, take me across,
C F Dm7 C CM7 C7
Wash all my troubles a - way;
F Dm7 Dm7/G C C/B Fm Bb9
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
C C/B Dm7 G7 C
But roll around heaven all day.
