Was in the spring, one sunny day My babe left me, she's gone away Cause she's gone and I don't worry I'm sitting on top of the world.
I'm goin' to the station, down in the yard I get me a freight train, this worked some got hard Cause she's gone and I don't worry I'm sitting on top of the world.
An' you come here runnin', holdin' up your hand I'll find me a mama like you'll find a man Cause she's gone and I don't worry I'm sitting on top of the world.
She called me in Dallas, in El Paso Says come on, daddy, I love you so But now she's gone and I don't worry I'm sitting on top of the world
She used to tell me just what to do Lost days are gone now, my money too But now she's gone and I don't worry I'm sitting on top of the world
If don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree Stay out of my orchard, let my peaches be Cause she's gone and I don't worry Lord, I'm sitting on top of the world.
