INCREDIBLE! What A WOMAN! Mmmmmmmm.
"That Lucky Old Sun is a 1949 popular song with music by Beasley Smith and words by Haven Gillespie. Like "Old Man River", its lyrics contrast the toil and intense hardship of the singer's life with the obliviousness of the natural world." WIKIPEDIA.
From the album "The Electrifying Aretha Franklin" (1962)/Columbia.
Recording versions by Frankie Laine, Vaughn Monroe, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, The Isley Brothers, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jackie Wilson, Jerry Garcia Band, Johnny Cash, George Benson, Brian Wilson, Tony Bennett & K.d. Lang, and... ARETHA FRANKLIN.
Lyrics:
"Up in the mornin',
Out on the job,
I work like the devil for my pay.
I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
I fuss with my woman (Lyrics change fo Aretha, cause she's is a woman), and toil with my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray.
I know that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
Dear Lord above, don't you see I'm cry'in?
I got tears all in my eyes.
Why don't you send down that cloud with the silver lining,
Lift me up to Paradise
Show me that river, and take me across,
Wash all my troubles away..."
