Sittin' On Top Of The World 

 

G                                              G7

Was in the spring one sunny day

                                   C                             G

My sweetheart left me Lord she went away

                                                          Em

And now she's gone and I don't' worry

G                                 D7               G

Lord I'm sitting on top of the world

 

                       

She called me up from down in El Paso

She said come back daddy ooh I need you so

 

If you don't like my peaches don't you shake my tree

Then get out of my orchard let my peaches be

 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Show me a woman a man can trust

 

Mississippi River, long, deep and wide

The woman I'm loving is on the other side

 

And don't you come here runnin' holding out your hand

I'm gonna get me a woman like you got your man
