Sittin’ on Top of the World

Lonnie Chatmon, Walter Vinson

Was in the spring, one 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

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

[Instrumental Break]

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

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

It was in the spring, one 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
