Sittin' on Top of the World - The Flatlanders, Butch Hancock, Joe Ely

Was in the spring one sunny day

My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away

Now she’s gone, and I don’t worry

Ooh, I’m a-sittin' on top of the world

Called me up from down in El Paso

She said «Come back, daddy, you know I need you so»

Now she’s gone, and I don’t worry

Lord, I’m sittin' on top of the world

Well, I worked all of summer and then I worked all of fall

Then I’m gonna take Christmas in my overalls

And now she’s gone, gone, and I don’t worry

Lord, I’m sittin' on top of the world

If you don’t like my peaches, don’t you shake my tree

Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be

Now she’s gone, and I don’t worry

Ooh, I’m sittin' on top of the world

Don’t you come here runnin', holdin' out your hand

I’m gonna get me a woman just like you’ve got your man

Now she’s gone, and I don’t worry

Lord, I’m sittin' on top of the world

Well, I never, never had one woman at a time

Lord, I’ve always had seven, eight, or nine

Now she’s gone, gone, and I don’t worry

Lord, I’m sittin' on top of the world

Oh yeah, woo

It was in the spring on a sunny day

My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away

And now she’s gone, and I don’t worry

Lord, I’m sittin' on top of the world

And now she’s gone, and I don’t worry

Lord, I’m sittin' on top of the world

And now she’s gone, and I don’t worry

Lord, I’m sittin' on top of the world
