Sittin' on Top of the World Lyrics

Well it was in the spring one sunny day
When my woman left me and she went away
Oh but now she's gone I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin' up here on top of the world

Mississippi River is deep and wide
That woman I love love is on the other side
Oh but now she's gone gone but I don't worry none
'Cause I'm sittin' sittin' on top of the world

Mississippi River is deep and wide...

(Guitar)
Well it was in the spring one sunny day...

(Banjo)
I'm sittin' on top of the world sittin' on top of the world
I don't worry I don't worry sittin' up here on top of the world

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
