The New Sittin’ on Top of the World Songtext
von Mississippi Sheiks

Maybe today, or ____ late
My baby got movements like a old Cadillac eight
I′ll never leave her, because I don't worry
I′m sitting on top of the world

I'll go away, I won't stay long
Thinking about that sweet thing I′ve left at home
I′ll never leave her, I don't worry
I′m sitting on top of the world


My baby loves me, tries to treat me right
Gives me her loving both day and night
I'll never leave her, I don′t worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

My baby says one thing, I know it is true
"Can′t have another man and be good to you"
I'll never leave her, because I don't worry
I′m sitting on top of the world

Up in Chicago, long ways from home
Wonder if somebody else, carrying my loving on
I′ll never leave her, I don't worry
I′m sitting on top of the world


I'm going home, buy a lock and key
To keep these men from stealing my loving from me
I′ll never leave her, I don't worry
I′m sitting on top of the world
