It was the spring on a sunny day
My sweetheart left me, she run away
And now she's gone and i don't worry
God, i'm sitting on top of the world

The mississippi river is deep and wide
My sweetheart left me on the other side
And now she's gone and i don't worry
Well, i'm sitting on top of the world
I'm sitting on top of the world

Don't you like my peaches?
Don't upset my tree
Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
And now she's gone and i don't worry
God i'm sitting on top of the world

I'm sitting on top of the world
