(Ray Henderson, Sam M. Lewis, Joe Young)
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...
