Van Morrison, Carl Perkins - Sittin' on Top of the World lyrics

[Van Morrison, Carl Perkins - Sittin' on Top of the World lyrics]

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)

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?

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
