Sittin’ On Top of the World (Live at Fox Theatre, St. Louis, MO, December 10, 1971)
Walter Vinson, Lonnie Carter
[Verse 1]
Mississippi River, so big and wide
Blond-haired woman on the other side
Now she's gone, gone, gone, and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
[Verse 2]
I saw her in Dallas and El Paso
Said, "Come back, baby, I need you so"
And now she's gone, gone, gone, and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Mississippi River, so big and wide
Blond-haired woman, she's on the other side, other side
And now she's gone, gone, gone, and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Don't come here running, holding out your hand
'Cause I have me a woman and I can't be your man
Now she's gone, gone, gone, and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
