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
