Sittin' on Top of the World

You come here runnin'

Holdin' out your hand

I'm gonna get me a woman, baby

And you can have that man

Lord, I'm gone, gone, gone

I don't worry

Lord, I am sitting on top of the world

Yes, I am

How you think about it, Van?

I worked all summer, and all the fall

I even spent Christmas, in my overalls

But now, childs gone (yeah, she is)

An' I don't worry (boy, don't worry)

'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world

(Lord, I reckon)

[Instrumental]

That Mississippi River

Is so deep an' wide

My baby's standin', Lord

On the other side

Oh, but now she's gone, gone, gone

An I don't worry

'Cause I am sittin' on top of this world

Can you blow me some of that horn, cat now?

[Instrumental & sax solo]

One summer's day (ooh-huh)

She went away (she went)

She went and left me

For good, to stay

And now she's gone

An' I don't worry

'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world, yeah

A-you come here runnin'

Holdin' out your hand

I'm gonna get me a woman

An' you can have your man

Well, now she's gone, gone, gone

An' I don't worry

'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.

Get it.
