Was in the spring one sunny day My sweetheart left me, she went away And now she's gone and I don't worry Cause I'm sittin on top of the world That big old river so deep and wide I saw her standing on the other side Now she's gone, I don't worry Cause I'm sittin on top of the world The levee broke, the water rose Near flooded out my happy home Now she's gone, and I don't worry cause I'm sittin on top of the world I went up to higher ground She was nowhere no where to be found Now she's gone, and I don't worry Cause I'm sittin on top of the world And now she's gone and I don't worry Cause I'm sittin on top of the world
