This is a musical nostalgia thread, of a sort.

We all know that folk and blues music tend to swap around lyrics, whole verses, scraps of lines, and so forth. A line or a verse in one song might end up, slightly modified, in a quite different song.

So, just for fun, how many songs can we name that have contain some variant of the line:

the sun's gonna shine in my back door

.
.

I'll start us off with:

Happy Good Morning Blues
Bruce Cockburn
from his 1971 LP "High Winds White Sky"

Good day to you
fat balloon man
may you always have air
you sing a song everybody can believe

Good day to you
uncle tom cat
out to trick the whole world
you carry a tune for nobody but yourself

Bonjour a toi
herr policeman
may your boots always fit
someday you'll find a song you can believe

Good morning good people
the sun is long sailing
the only clouds you see
are carried within

soon they'll be blown all away
wind's gonna rise and blow those clouds away
wind's gonna rise and blow your blues away
your sun's gonna shine in my back door some day ...
