Sitting on Top of the World, No. 2 Songtext
von Mississippi Sheiks

I begged you baby, with tears in my eyes
But still you dog me, cause me to cry
And now she′s gone, I don't worry
I′m still on top of the world

I shed a tear all over my clothes
Just crying and begging you, "Baby, please don't go"
But now she's gone, I don′t worry
I′m still on top of the world


The boys and girls sung this lonesome song
About when she left me, hurt me to the bone
But now she's gone, I don′t worry
I'm still on top of the world

This is what I will say just as you going
There′ll be no more worrying from this day on
Because she's gone, I don′t worry
I'm still on top of the world

Now when I'm dead and in my grave
Then no more women will I crave
Because I′ll be gone, you need to worry
I′m still on top of the world


Now when I'm sleeping and in my grave
Just think how poor Walter used to be a slave
But now he′s gone, you need to worry
I'm still on top of the world
