Sittin' On Top Of The World Lyrics You come here runnin' Holdin' out your hand I'm gonna get me a woman, baby And you can have that man Lord, I'm gone, gone, gone I don't worry Lord, I am sitting on top of the world Yes, I am How you think about it, Van? I worked all summer, and all the fall I even spent Christmas, in my overalls But now, childs gone (yeah, she is) An' I don't worry (boy, don't worry) 'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world (Lord, I reckon) [Instrumental] [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/v/van+morriso\\... ] That Mississippi River Is so deep an' wide My baby's standin', Lord On the other side Oh, but now she's gone, gone, gone An I don't worry 'Cause I am sittin' on top of this world Can you blow me some of that horn, cat now? [Instrumental & sax solo] One summer's day (ooh-huh) She went away (she went) She went and left me For good, to stay And now she's gone An' I don't worry 'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world, yeah A-you come here runnin' Holdin' out your hand I'm gonna get me a woman An' you can have your man Well, now she's gone, gone, gone An' I don't worry 'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.
