Sitting on Top of the World Lyrics

[00:00.43] Was in the spring
[00:23.05] One sunny day
[00:25.74] My sweetheart left me
[00:28.40] Yeah, she went away
[00:31.16] And now she's gone
[00:33.88] And I don't worry
[00:36.51] Lord, I'm sitting
[00:39.28] On top of the world
[00:42.95] Don't you come back a-runnin'
[00:45.61] Holding out your hand
[00:48.33] I will get me a woman
[00:51.01] Like you got your man
[00:53.77] And now she's gone
[00:56.49] And I don't worry
[00:59.19] Lord, I'm sitting
[01:01.89] On top of the world
[01:04.53] Don't you like my peaches
[01:28.13] Then don't you shake my tree
[01:30.88] Stay out of my orchard
[01:33.55] Let my peaches be
[01:36.24] And now she's gone
[01:38.90] And I don't worry
[01:41.79] Lord, I'm sitting
[01:43.52] On top of the world
[01:47.18] Well, she called me up
[01:49.85] From down in Al Paso
[01:52.52] She said, "Come back, daddy
[01:55.21] Ooh, I need you so"
[01:57.92] And now she's gone
[02:00.69] And I don't worry
[02:04.27] Lord, I'm sitting
[02:05.15] On top of the world
[02:08.74] 'Twas in the spring
[02:31.32] One sunny day
[02:34.15] My sweetheart left me
[02:36.80] Yeah, she went away
[02:39.58] And now she's gone
[02:42.27] And I don't worry
[02:44.98] Lord, I'm sitting
[02:46.74] On top of the world
[02:50.38]
