Settin’ on Top of the World
Howlin’ Wolf, Traditional, John Lee Hooker
Worked all the Summer, and all the Fall
Had to spend my Christmas, in my overalls
So now she gone, I don't worry
Settin' on top of the word
One Christmas day, I was home alone
She had gone and left me, me by myself
But now she gone, I don't worry
I'm Settin' on top of the world
One Summer day, when the sun was shining
Was shining bright, she went and left me
Me all alone
So now she gone, I don't worry
Settin' on top of the word
I used to work, seven days a week
Didn't have no money, no pocket change
But now she gone, I don't worry
Settin' on top of the word
