Sitting On Top Of The World (Live at the Fillmore West, San Francisco, February 8, 1970) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mississippi river, so big and wide
Blonde-headed woman on the other side
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world

[Verse 2]
Saw her in Dallas, in El Paso
Come back, baby, I need you so
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Mississippi river, so big and wide
Blonde-headed woman, she's on the other side, other side
Now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Saw her in Dallas, in El Paso
Come back, baby, I need you so
And now she's gone, gone, gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
