Well it was in the spring one sunny day
When my baby left me and she went away
Oh but now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sittin' up here on top of the world
Yeah jump in there children

The Mississippi River is deep and wide
That woman I love love is on the other side
Oh but now she's gone gone and I don't worry none
Cause I'm sittin' sittin' on top of the world
Yeah get it cookin'

Mississippi River is deep and wide

Well it was in the spring one sunny day

I'm sittin' on top of the world sittin' on top of the world
I don't worry I don't worry sittin' up here on top of the world
On top of the world right now oh yeah
