[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.
