Sitting on Top of the World Songtext
von Doc Watson

Was in the spring
One sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Yeah, she went away
And now she′s gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I′m sitting
On top of the world
Don't you come back a-runnin'
Holding out your hand
I will 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
Don′t you like my peaches
Then don't you shake my tree
Stay 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
Well, she called me up
From down in Al 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
′Twas in the spring
One sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Yeah, she went away
And now she's gone
And I don′t worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world
