Sitting on Top of the World - 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
