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
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

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.

  11. a.... j....

    Truly A MASTER that lived through the music he played. Thanks for the melodies!

  12. P.... ....

    In the movie '' Liars Moon '' there is a version of this song sung. Does anyone know who sang it in the film?

  13. v.... b....

    The earth must be flat then!!!

  14. S.... P....

    Sent this out for the eclipse. Thank you Master of Space and Time

  15. S.... ....

    Listened to this song by a number of artists and have to say that this is the best as far as I'm concerned

  16. J.... A....

    Cut your hair and shave and see if you sound better.

    J.... A....

    Lol! What a brainless moronic comment!

  17. J.... A....

    Terrible copying. It would be good if he wasn't trying to copy Willie and make money off of his style.

    J.... A....

    What an asinine comment.

    J.... A....

    At least, Boxcar Willie could sing with many different styles, including his own. He deserved to get rich.

    J.... A....

    James ALEXANDER he did this with Willie years ago. Oh yea it's called a cover

  18. J.... H....
