It was in the spring one sunny day
My good gal left me Lord she went away
And now she's gone but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
She called me up from down in El Paso Said come back, daddy,
Lord I need you so
And now she's gone but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Show me a woman a man can trust And now she's gone but I don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world Mississippi River, long, deep and wide The woman I'm loving is on the other side And now she's gone but I don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
You don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be And now she's gone but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Don't you come here running, holding out your hand
I'll get me a woman like you got your man
And now she's gone but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
