Mississippi River, so big and wide
Blond-haired woman on the other side
Now shes gone, gone, gone, and I dont worry
Cause Im sitting on top of the world
I worked all summer, spring and fall
Blond-haired woman the cause of it all
Now shes gone, gone, gone, and I dont worry
Cause Im sitting on top of the world
I saw her in Dallas and El Paso
Said, Come back, baby, I need you so
And now shes gone, gone, gone, and I dont worry
Cause Im sitting on top of the world
Mississippi River, so big and wide
Blond-haired woman on the other side
Well, now shes gone, gone, gone, and I dont worry
Cause Im sitting on top of the world
