Roll on clouds in the mornin'
Roll on clouds in the mornin'
Roll on clouds in the mornin'
Let the Sun Shine Down on Me

Bound away for glory
I'm bound for glory and deliverance
Roll on clouds in the mornin'
Let the Sun Shine Down on Me

I look up this mornin'
Deep down trouble I see
Yes I looked up this mornin'
Let the Sun Shine Down on Me

Oh, Roll on clouds in the mornin'
Roll on clouds in the mornin'
Roll on clouds in the mornin'
Let the Sun Shine Down on Me

Bound away for glory
I'm bound for glory and deliverance
Roll on clouds in the mornin'
Let the Sun Shine Down on Me

Saw that big cloud risin'
Hard trouble I see
Heard my mother cryin'
Let the Sun Shine Down on Me

Notes
