Sittin' On Top Of The World

(Album: Doc Watson - 1964)

Was in the spring, one 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

She called me up from down in El Paso
She said "Come back, daddy, ooh, I need you so"
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sitting on top of the world

If you don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
And get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
And now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord, I'm sitting on top of the world

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

It was in the spring, one 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
