Well, it was in the spring
One sunny day
When my baby left me
And she went away
Oh, but now she's gone
And I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting up here
On top of the world
Yeah, jump in there, children
Mississippi River
Is deep and wide
That woman I love, love
Is on the other side
Oh, but now she's gone, gone
And I don't worry none
Cause I'm sitting
Sitting on top of the world
Yeah, get it cooking
Mississippi River
Is deep and wide
That woman I love, love
Is on the other side
Oh, but now she's gone, gone
And I don't worry none
Cause I'm sitting up here
On top of the world
Jump in, boy
Well, it was in the spring, Lord
One sunny day
When my woman left me
And, Lord, she went away
Oh, but now she's gone, gone, gone
And I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting up here
On top of the world
I'm sitting on top of the world
Sitting on top of the world
I don't worry
I don't worry
Sitting up here on top of the world
On top of the world right now
Oh yeah
On top of the world right now oh yeah
