Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
I’m Sittin’ on Top Of The World
[Chorus]
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on
Top of the world
[Verse 1]
Was in the spring
One sunny day
My good gal left me
She went away
[Chorus]
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on
Top of the world
[Verse 2]
She called me from Dallas
And El Paso
Said, "Come back, daddy
"I need you so"
[Chorus]
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on
Top of the world
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, my ol' pal
He done me wrong
He stole my darlin'
With his ol' dobro
[Chorus]
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on
Top of the world
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Don't like my peaches
Don't shake my tree
Stay out of my orchard
Let my peaches be
[Chorus]
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on
Top of the world
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 5]
Don't come here runnin'
Holdin' out your hand
I'll get me a woman
Like you got a man
[Chorus]
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on
Top of the world
[Chorus]
Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on
Top of the world
[Spoken Outro]
"Yeah! Well, everybody—everybody towel off, now. Whew!"
