Sitting On Top Of The World Lyrics - Bill Monroe

It was in the spring one sunny day 

My good gal left me Lord she went away 

And now she's gone but I don't worry 

'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world 

She called me up from down in El Paso 

Said come back, daddy, Lord I need you so 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 

Show me a woman a man can trust 

Mississippi River, long, deep and wide 

The woman I'm loving is on the other side 

You don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree 

Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be 

Don't you come here running, holding out your hand 

I'll get me a woman like you got your man
