(Trad. arranged by Van Morrison & Carl Perkins) |
|
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] |
|
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. |
|
Get it. |
