Chris Smither - Sittin' On Top Of The World Lyrics

Chris Smither Lyrics

"Sittin' On Top Of The World"
(originally by The Mississippi Sheiks)

In the spring, on a sunny day
Oh, my baby left me
She said she's gone to stay

Now she's gone
I don't worry
I'm just sittin' on top of the world

She called me up from El Paso
She said, "Come back down, daddy"
She said, "I need you so"

Now she's gone
I don't worry
I've been sittin' on top of the world

Don't you come runnin'
Holdin' out your hand
I'm gonna find me a woman
Just like you found a man

Now she's gone
I don't worry
I'm just sittin' on top of the world

If you didn't want my peaches
Why'd you shake my tree?
You get out of my orchard
You just let my peaches be

Now she's gone
I don't worry
I'm just sittin' on top of the world

Cause now she's gone
I don't worry
I'm just sittin' on top of the world
