Sittin On Top of the World - Howlin Wolfâ
Standard Tuning
One summer day
She went away
She gone ânâ left me
She gone to stay
But now she gone
And i dont worry
Cause Im sittin on top of the world
worked all a summer
worked all a fall
I had to take christmas
in my overalls
But now she s gone
And i dont worry
Cause im sittin on top of the world
Goin down to the frieght yard
catch me a freight train
gonna leave this town
Work done gone too hard
But now she gone
And i dont worry
Because im sittin on top of the world
One summer day
She went away
She gone and left me
She gone to stay
But now she gone
And i dont worry
Cause im sittin on top of the world
Doc Watson Version:
Was in the spring one sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Lord she went away
And now shes gone
And i dont worry
Now lord im sittin on top of the world
She called me up
From down in el paso
She said come back daddy
Oh i need you so
And now shes gone
And i dont worry
Now lord im sittin on top of the world
If you dont like my peaches
Dont shake my tree
Get out of my orchard
Let my peaches be
And now shes gone
And i dont worry
Now lord im sittin on top of the world
now dont you come here runnin
holdin out your hand
im gonna get me a woman
like you got your man
and now shes gone
and i dont worry
now lord im sittin on top of the world
