Was in the spring, one sunny day
My good guy left me, Lord, he went away
And now he's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
He called me up from down in El Paso
Said "Come back momma, 'cause I need you so"
And now he's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Mississippi river, long, deep, and wide
The man I'm loving gone the other side
But now he's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Show me a man that I can trust
But now he's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Show me a man that I can trust
But now he's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
But now he's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
