Mississippi River so big and wide, blond haired woman on the other side.

Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry 'cause I'm sitting on top of the world.


I worked all summer, spring and fall, blond haired woman the cause of it all.

Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry 'cause I'm sitting on top of the world.


I saw her in Dallas and El Paso. Said come back baby, I need you so.

Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry 'cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
