Look over yonder, hot sun turning over

Look over yonder, hot sun turning over

And it won't go down, Lord, it won't go down

Did you ever hear the cuckoo bird a-calling? (Did you ever hear the cuckoo bird a-calling?)

Did you ever hear the cuckoo bird a-calling? (Did you ever hear the cuckoo bird a-calling?)

Sure sign of rain, Lord, sure sign of rain

I've been a hammer (been a hammer in Lord)

Since last December (since last December)

I've been a hammer (been a hammer in Lord)

Since last December (since last December)

And I'm almost dead, Lord, I'm almost dead

I've been a wondering if anybody wonders

I've been a wondering if anybody wonders

About poor me, Lord, about poor me

Look over yonder (look over yonder)

Hot sun turning over (hot sun turning over)

Look over yonder (look over yonder)

Hot sun turning over (hot sun turning over)

And it won't go down, Lord, it won't go down

It won't go down, Lord, it won't go down
