Cat. #0800 (MFH #605) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on June 25, 1969
VERSE 1
Was in th spring, one sunny day
My baby left me, she went away
Lord, she's gone an' I don't weary
I'm sett'n on top of th world
VERSE 2
I give 'er money, I bought 'er clothes
An' why she left me, Lord I don't know
An' now she's gone an' I don't weary
I'm sett'n on top of th world
VERSE 3
No use come running, holden out your hand
I can get another woman, you can find a man
An' now she's gone an' I don't weary
I'm sett'n on top of th world
VERSE 5
In a lonesome days, that has gone by
Why should I weary, set around an' cry
Lord, she's gone an' I don't weary
I'm sett'in on top of th world
VERSE 6
If I could climb like a little squirrel
I'd climb a tree, I'd leave this world
Lord, she's gone an' I don't weary
I'm sett'n on top of th world
