Sitting on the top of the world






It was in the spring one sunny day

My good girl left me, lord, she went away





 

    And now she's gone and 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





 

 * Refrain







Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Show me a woman a man can trust







 * Refrain







Mississippi River, long, deep and wide

The woman I'm loving is on the other side







 * Refrain







You don't like my oeaches, don't you shake my tree

Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be







 * Refrain







Don't you come here running, porking out your hand

I'll get me a woman like you got your man







 * Refrain
