[Chorus]
It's a sunshine life for me
If I could get away
From this cloud that's over me
Seems to just follow me around

[Banjo Solo]

[Verse 1]
And it's a good life had for free
When you're out in the country
That's what I could use
If I could get away there soon

[Chorus]
It's a sunshine life for me
If I could get away
From this cloud that's over me
Seems to just follow me around

[Verse 2]
And it's a good life had at sea
When you're not in the navy
That's the life for you
Sail away, Raymond, sail away
[Verse 3]
Well, most folks just bore me
Always imposing
And I'd rather meet a tree
Somewhere out in the cornfield

[Chorus]
Well, it's a sunshine life for me
If I could get away
From this cloud that's over me
Seems to just follow me around
