Sittin' on Top of the World Songtext
von Doc Watson

It was in the spring
One sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Lord, she went away

And now she′s gone
And I don't′ worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world

She called me up
From down in El Paso
She said, "Come back, daddy
Ooh, I need you so"

And now she's gone
And I don′t′ worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world


If you don′t like my peaches
Don't you shake my tree
And get out of my orchard
Let my peaches be

And now she′s gone
And I don't′ worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world

And don't you come here runnin′
Holding out your hand
I′m gonna get me a woman
Like you got your man

But now she's gone
And I don′t' worry
Lord, I′m sitting
On top of the world

It was in the spring
One sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Lord, she went away


And now she's gone
And I don′t' worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world
