Cold Mountain movie - Sittin' On Top Of The World lyrics

rate me

Song by Jack White<br /><br>

Was all the summer, and all the fall,<br>

Just trying to find my lil' Eleanor<br>

But now she's gone, and I don't worry<br>

Lord I'm sitting on top of the world<br>

<br>

Was in the spring, one summer day<br>

Just when she left me, she's gone to stay<br>

But now she's gone, and I don't worry<br>

Oh I'm sitting on top of the world<br>

<br>

An' you come runnin', holdin' up your hand<br>

Can't get me a woman, quick as you can get a man<br>

But now you're gone, and now I don't worry<br>

Lord I'm sitting on top of the world<br>

<br>

Have been days, I didn't know your name<br>

Why should I worry or cry in vain<br>

But now she's gone, now I don't worry<br>

Lord I'm sitting on top of the world<br>

<br>

Went to the station, down in the yard<br>

Gone get me a freight train, worked on your hard<br>

But now she's gone, and I don't worry<br>

Oh I'm sitting on top of the world<br>

<br>

The lonesome days, they have gone by<br>

Why should you beg me oh say goodbye<br>

But now she's gone, and I don't worry<br>

Oh cause I'm sitting on top of the world<br>
