Was in the spring, one sunny day
My sweetheart left me, she went away
Now she's gone, I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
That big old river, so deep and wide
I saw her standing on the other side
Now she's gone, I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
The levee broke, the water rose
And it flooded out my happy home
Now she's gone I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
I went up to higher ground
She was nowhere, nowhere to be found
Now she's gone, I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
'Twas in the spring one sunny day
My sweetheart left me she went away
Now she's gone, I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
My sweetheart left me, she went away
Now she's gone, I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
That big old river, so deep and wide
I saw her standing on the other side
Now she's gone, I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
The levee broke, the water rose
And it flooded out my happy home
Now she's gone I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
I went up to higher ground
She was nowhere, nowhere to be found
Now she's gone, I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
'Twas in the spring one sunny day
My sweetheart left me she went away
Now she's gone, I dont' worry
Cos I'm sitting on top of the world
