Sitting on Top of the World

Sitting on Top of the World-Mississippi Sheiks
Walter Vinson, vocal and guitar in G position, standard tuning, Lonnie Chatmon, fiddle

Was all the summer, and all the fall,
just trying to find my little all and all
REFRAIN: But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

Was in the spring, one summer day
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
REFRAIN: But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

Needn't to come here running, holding up your hand
Can get me a woman, quick as you can get a man
REFRAIN: But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

It have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and cry in vain?
REFRAIN: But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

Going to the station, down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train, work done got hard
REFRAIN: But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me and say goodbye?
REFRAIN: But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
