Lyrics
"Was in the spring
One sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Lord, she went away
And now she's gone
And I don't' worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world
She called me up
From down in Al Paso
She said "Come back, daddy
Ooh, I need you so"
And now she's gone
And I don't' worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world
If you don't like my peaches
Don't you shake my tree
'N Get out of my orchard
Let my peaches be
And now she's gone
And I don't' worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world
And don't you come here runnin'
Holding out your hand
I'm gonna get me a woman
Like you got your man
And now she's gone
And I don't' worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world
'T Was in the spring
One sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Lord, she went away
And now she's gone
And I don't' worry
Lord, I'm sitting
On top of the world"

[@arthurogle7581]

Ronnie Bowman and Dan. Killer BG artists. Was this pre Sammy Sheilor era? Seems to be the case

[@SamuelDuplessis12]

Yeah that's Steve Dilling of IIIrd Time Out and Sideline on Banjo, he was in LRB for a hot second before starting IIIrd Time Out.

[@dukeofearlbanjo]

No, Sammy was in the band before Dan and Ronnie. If I remember right, Sammy had taken a hiatus from the band. They recorded an entire album with Steve on banjo. Then Sammy came back and re-cut all the banjo tracks.

Actual lyrics ;) : Was in the spring one sunny day My good gal left me she went away But now she's gone and I don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world She called me from down in El paso Said come on daddy, I need you so But now she's gone and I don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world Don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree Stay out of my orchard, let my peaches be But now she's gone and I don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world But now she's gone and I don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world Mississippi River, runs deep and wide, Left my baby on the other side But now she's gone and I don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world But now she's gone and I don't worry 'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
