Up in the mornin' out on the job,
And I work like the devil for my pay.
I know that a lucky old sun has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day,
(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 a silver lining, lift me up to paradise.
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
But nobody wants to die.
