 [Traditional, arranged by Bones] 'twas in the summer One early fall. I's tryin' to find my Little all and all. Now she's gone But I don't worry Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world. Mississippi River Is deep and wide You can't see over To the other side. She is gone But I don't worry Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world. Now don't come runnin' Holdin' out your hand. I can get me a woman Quick as you can get a man. Now she's gone And I don't worry Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world. Happened for days I didn't know your name. Why should I worry Or crave you in vain? She is gone But I don't worry Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world. My lonesome days They have gone by. Why should I beg you? You said good-bye. Now she's gone But I don't worry Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world. Went to the station Down in the yard. Gonna ride a freight train Work's done got hard. She is gone But I don't worry Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world. [Print version] [Next song] |
