Russell, Leon - That Lucky Old Sun Lyrics
Up in the mornin' out on the job, work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
Up in the mornin' out on the job,
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Never thought I could miss someone I'd never met and didn't know, yet here I am missing the hell out Leon and knowing that this very special caring talented person will sing for us no longer.
Truly A MASTER that lived through the music he played. Thanks for the melodies!
In the movie '' Liars Moon '' there is a version of this song sung. Does anyone know who sang it in the film?
The earth must be flat then!!!
Sent this out for the eclipse. Thank you Master of Space and Time
Listened to this song by a number of artists and have to say that this is the best as far as I'm concerned
Cut your hair and shave and see if you sound better.
Lol! What a brainless moronic comment!
Terrible copying. It would be good if he wasn't trying to copy Willie and make money off of his style.
What an asinine comment.
At least, Boxcar Willie could sing with many different styles, including his own. He deserved to get rich.
James ALEXANDER he did this with Willie years ago. Oh yea it's called a cover
And now Leon is rolling around heaven all day. God rest his soul. “From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.” - Psalm 113:3
Judi Harbin amen sister
Thankyou for the life you sang in your songs leon ....we will meet on the other side of that flowing river of life and God will be our reward ....thank you leon another song to sing
thank you forever. to infinity.
Leon Russell, thank you for your music, and the joy and entertainment you have brought to my life. I am 64, in my late teens and early 20s, your music then, as it does now, left a deep impression on me. Again, Thank You. You will be missed by so many, but you live on in your music.
Rick Lanham me too.😂
God bless Leon
Thank you Leon,,,,you made this one the ONE !
Saw you live in Norman. 1982...proud of my fellow Okie from Tulsa. I will fly to Vegas if you ever go there again. Thanks for this cover. The best soul cover ever.
Gonna see Leon again in August in Las Vegas. Will be sixth time. Still plays with tremendous soul. An all time favorite. God bless Leon.
Trying to sound like Willie.
Leon pulls the Soul out of the Sun......Magic, Sir L
I first heard you at 16..40 yesrs later..still love your music.
+Helen Overstreet Hi Helen. You look very nice at 56......
love Mr. Leon for years but closer to the end ! I have to listen to 1 of his tunes every day . to make it go smooth .
Leon Russel, me alegro enormemente de reencontrarte, he aprendido muchas cosas escuchandote.
Beautiful cover of this song! Thank you.
looks like Leon and me stayed on Willie's Bus too long.
"tears in my eyes" here too... all the joy and pleasure this man has brought me for so many years... many thanks, Leon, and to you, Lu, for the post.
thanks to you!
