It was in the spring one sunny day
My sweetheart left me Lord she went away
And now she's gone and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world

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

You don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
And now she's gone and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world

Don't you come here running, holding out your hand
I'll get me a woman like you got your man
And now she's gone and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
