Song Information:
This is my version of this traditional song that's been done by gazillions of people, sometimes it's a blues and sometimes it's bluegrass. I did write some new stanzas from what you might usually hear, and my intention was to rewrite it altogether but I am currently stuck so this is where it stuck to. Bot in a banjo pickin' mood! My current inspiration, Harry Manx, has a version of this one too, but his uses different words; that's why I stuck on my current roll of Indian percussion loop accompaniment, and the software instrument of Tibetan Bells and Chinese Erhu completes the asian influence on this. World music indeed since we're on top of the world!
Song Lyrics:
Was all the summer, on into the fall,
I thought Id found my little one for all
But now shes gone, but I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
In a warm rain on a summer day
Thats when she left me, she's gone to stay
Oh yes she's gone, but I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
come on runnin' in, holdin' up a hand
jump the line, quick as you can
But now you're gone, and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
In the old days days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry or cry in vain
But now youre gone, so I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Went to the station, down in the yard
a slow movin freight train, an empty car
And now youre gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
I give respect where it is due
Some things got lost in respect to you
But now youre gone so I dont worry
Oh yeah Im sittin on top of the world
No place for hate, when filled up with love
Cant be kept down when my home is above
so youre gone, and I dont worry
Cause Im sittin on top of the world
