Lyrics

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


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
