"Sitting On Top Of The World"

SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD

WRITERS LONNIE CHATMAN, WALTER VINSON

It was in the spring one sunny day My good gal left
me Lord she went away And now she's gone but I don't
worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world She called
me up from down in El Paso Said come back,
daddy, Lord I need you so And now she's gone but I
don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Show me a woman a man
can trust And now she's gone but I don't worry 'Cause
I'm sitting on top of the world Mississippi River,
long, deep and wide The woman I'm loving is on the
other side And now she's gone but I don't worry 'Cause
I'm sitting on top of the world You don't like my peaches,
don't you shake my tree Get out of my orchard,
let my peaches be And now she's gone but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world Don't you come
here running, holding out your hand I'll get me a woman
like you got your man And now she's gone but I don't
worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
