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.
