Sittin’ on Top of the World Lyrics

Was in the spring one sunny day
My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away
Now she's gone, and I don't worry
Ooh, I'm a-sittin' on top of the world

Called me up from down in El Paso
She said "Come back, daddy, you know I need you so"
Now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Well, I worked all of summer and then I worked all of fall
Then I'm gonna take Christmas in my overalls
And now she's gone, gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

If you don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
Now she's gone, and I don't worry
Ooh, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Don't you come here runnin', holdin' out your hand
I'm gonna get me a woman just like you've got your man
Now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Well, I never, never had one woman at a time
Lord, I've always had seven, eight, or nine
Now she's gone, gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Oh yeah, woo

It was in the spring on a sunny day
My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
