Sittin' On the Top of the World - Sonny Terry

No need 'a runnin', holdin' up your hand

I can get me a woman, quick as you can a man

But now she’s gone, and I don’t worry, 'cause I’m sittin' on top of the world

I’m on top of the world, with my leg hanging down

My baby done quit me, gone out 'a this town

But now she’s gone, and I don’t worry, 'cause I’m sittin' on top of the world

Work all the summer and all the fall

Now, they wanna take my Christmas, and my overalls

But now she’s gone, and I don’t worry, 'cause I’m sittin' on top of the world

Bye, bye, baby, honey if you call it gone

It may worry me some, baby, but it won’t last long

But now she’s gone, and I don’t worry, 'cause I’m sittin' on top of the world
