Sitting on Top of the World

1
‘Twas in the spring one sunny day
4 1
My sweetheart left me lord she went away
 

6m
And now she’s gone and I don’t worry
1 5 1
Lord I’m sittin’ on top of the world
 

She called me up from down in El Paso
She said come back daddy ooo I need you so

You don’t like my peaches don’t you shake my tree
Get out of my orchard let my peaches be

And don’t you come here running holdin’ out your hand
I’m gonna get me a woman like you got your man

‘Twas in the spring one sunny day
My sweetheart left me lord she went away
