Mississippi River so big and wide,
Blond haired woman on the other side.
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
I worked all summer, spring and fall,
Blond haired woman the cause of it all.
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
I saw her in Dallas and El Paso.
Said, "Come back baby, I need you so."
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
Mississippi River so big and wide,
Blond haired woman on the other side.
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
