'Twas in the spring, one sunny day,
My sweetheart left me, she went away,
Now she's gone, but I don't worry,
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.

She called me up, from down in El Paso,
She said "Come back daddy, oh I need you so."
Now she's gone, but I don't worry,
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.

You don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree,
Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be.
Now she's gone, but I don't worry,
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.

And don't you come here runnin',
Holdin' out your hand,
I'm gonna get me a woman,
Like you got your man.
Now she's gone, but I don't worry,
'Cause I'm sittin', on top of the world.
