Was in the spring one sunny day
My good gal left me, she went away

But now she’s gone and I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

She called me Dallas from El Paso
Said come on Daddy, I need you so

Don’t like my peaches, don’t shake my tree
Stay out of my orchard, let my peaches be

But now she’s gone and I don’t worry
Lord, I’m sitting on top of the world

But now she’s gone and I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

Mississippi River runs deep and wide
I left my baby on the other side

She called me Dallas from El Paso

Don’t like my peaches, don’t shake my tree
Stay out of my orchard, let my peaches be

But now she’s gone and I don’t worry
Lord, I’m sitting on top of the world

But now she’s gone and I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the [6m]world

Mississippi River runs deep and wide
I left my baby on the other side
