Mississippi Sheiks

Sitting on Top of the World

Was in the spring, one summer day

My sweetheart left me, Lord she went away

And now she's gone but 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, oh I need you so

But now she's gone but 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

Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be

But now she's gone but I don't worry

Lord I'm sittin on top of the world

Was in the spring, one summer day

My sweetheart left me, Lord she went away

And now she's gone but I don't worry

Lord I'm sittin on top of the world
