Mississippi River so big and wide
Blond haired woman on the other side
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
I worked all summer, spring and fall
I had a woman who caused it all
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
I saw her in Dallas and El Paso
Said, "Come back baby, I need you so"
And now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Mississippi River so big and wide
Blond haired woman on the other side
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
