Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Good Lord, up above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes?
Oh, roll around Heaven, Heaven, Heaven all day
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around Heaven all day
Lift me to Paradise
But roll around Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
And wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
Tears all in my eyes?
But roll around Heaven all day
Show me that river, take me across
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Show me that river, take me across
Lift me to Paradise
But roll around Heaven all day
And wash all my troubles away
Good Lord above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
