Sittin' On Top of the Blues

It was in the spring one sunny day
That the good gal left me Lord she went away
Now she’s gone and I won’t worry I’m sitting on top of the world

The pillow still where she laid
When I reached my hopes and dreams of yesterday yeah
The blues have such an early hour
My will now stripped of all its power
Now I’ve got nothing left to lose
Cause I’m cheek to cheek with the blues

She called me from Dallas and El Paso
Said come on daddy Lord I need you so
Now she’s gone and I don’t worry
Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

The coffee’s still warm in the cup
She must have left just as I woke up yeah
The blues have such an early hour
My will now stripped of all its power
Now I’ve got nothing left to lose
Cause I’m cheek to cheek with the blues

Don’t like my peaches don’t shake my tree
Stay out of my orchard let my peaches be
Now she’s gone and I don’t worry
Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

Mississippi river runs deep and wide
My little woman’s on the other side
Now she’s gone and I don’t worry
I’m sitting on top of the world
Now she’s gone and I don’t worry
I’m cheek to cheek with the blues
