The Flatlanders - Sittin' on Top of the World

Was in the spring, one sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Lord, she went away
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Woo, I'm sitting on top of the world

Call me up from down in Al Paso
She said "Come back, daddy, you know I need you so"
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sitting on top of the world

Well, I worked all a-summer
And then I worked on the farm
Now I'm gonna take Christmas in my overalls
And now she's gone
Gone and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sitting on top of the world

If you don't like my peaches a-don't you shake my tree
A get out of my orchard, a-let my peaches be
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Woo, I'm sitting on top of the world

Ah, don't you come here runnin' holding out your hand
I'm gonna get me a woman just like you got your man
And now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sitting on top of the world

Well, I never never had a-one woman at a time
Lord, I always had seven, eight or nine
And now she's gone
Gone and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sitting on top of the world

Oh yeah, woo

It was in the spring on a 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

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

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