Don't come here running
Holding out your hand
I get me a woman
You can get a man
Lord, I'm gone
I don't worry
Baby, I'm sitting on
Top of the world
Mississippi river
So deep and wide
My baby stands
On the other side
Lord, I'm gone
I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on
Top of the world
Don't come here running
Holding out your hand
I get me a woman
You can have your man
Lord, I'm gone
I don't worry
I'm sitting on top
Top of the world
Worked all summer
Worked all the fall
Blonde-headed chicken
She caused it all
Lord, I'm gone
I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top
Top of the world
Don't come here running
Holding out your hand
Get me a woman
You can have your man
Lord, I'm gone
I don't worry
Lord, I'm sitting on top
Top of the world
Oh, Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world
