(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.
