'Twas in the spring one sunny day
My god gal left me she'd gone away
But now she's gone and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on the top of the world

She called me down from El Paso
Said, "Come up daddy I need you so"
But now she's gone and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on the top of the world.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Show me a woman a man can trust
But now she's gone and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on the top of the world.

Mississippi river long deep and wide
The woman I'm loving gone in other side
But now she's gone and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on the top of the world.
