I am sitting on top of the world
just rolling along
just rolling along
and I am quittin the grues of the world
just singing a song
just singing a song
glory haleluah
I just phoned a Parson
hey pa get ready to call
just like a Humpty Dumpty,
I'm gonna to fall
I am sitting on top of the world
just rolling along
just rolling along
ah, go get em billy
glory haleluah
I just phoned a Parson
hey pa get ready to call
just like a Humpty Dumpty,
I'm about to fall
I am sitting on top of this world
just rolling along
just rolling along
I am sitting on top of the world

When I was lying in jail : with my back turned to the
wall
I could lay down and dream : I could hear my good gal
squall
Lord she brought me coffee : and she brought me tea
Fell dead on the floor : with the jailhouse key
I'm going down to the courthouse : see the judge and the
chief police
My good gal fell dead : now I sure can't see no peace
I'll tell you what I'll do : and I sure God ain't going
to tell no lie

Be easy mama, don't you fade away
Be easy mama, don't you fade away
I'm goin where the Southern Cross the Yella Dog
Now, I'm pleading here with you
If I'm not around in your arms
Lord, I'm pleading hear me where you are
Bide your lonely heart
Been a desperad-y
I want to ride the Yella Dog world
While them red - green change
I wanna ride the Yella Dog world
While it rain, rainy day
I thought deep in my own family
Now, I don't remember a name
('two more s')
Set deep in my saddle all the night
Don't remember her name
(But he didn't catch her name)
(So he kicked her off the train)
Got to shove her off the train
Police surround the car.
(Wasn't your sister round this car)
(Police push ya around)
(Pow-zing-zing).

I went down to the river : just thirty‑one days and
nights
I'm looking for my good gal : come back and treat me
right
I ain't got me nobody : carry my troubles to
I tell you peoples : I don't know what to do
Just as sure as your train : Lord backs up in your yard
I'm going to see my baby : if I have to ride the rods
I went away last summer : got back in the fall
My mind had a‑changed : I wouldn't have come back at all
You can press my jumper : iron my overalls

When you get up in the morning : when the ding‑dong rings
You make it to the station : see the same old thing
Ain't nothing on the table : but the pots and the pans
Say anything about it : have supper with the man
Yonder come the little Nora : how do you know
I know by the apron : and the dress she wear
??? on her shoulder : piece of paper in her hand

Said come in here : and you shut that door
He got shot : with a forty‑four
I got a brand new pistol : and a box of balls
Going to shoot that woman : just to see her fall
You ??? *those stitches* : in the
He dug those potatoes : with the pocketknife
I'm going to town : hurry back
I'm going to show your people : how to ball the jack
She got good jelly : she sells it hot
I know here's something : that a man can't buy
Twenty‑five cents : is the regular price
There's fifty cents : you can buy her twice
She pulls her dress : up above her knees

I never felt so worried : till I found the loving lady
blues
I can't sleep for dreaming : I can't eat for crying
I lay down last night : with that gal all on my mind
I got nineteen bird dogs : got one floppy‑eared hound
It just take those twenty : run my fair brown down
I got a good gal in town : but she don't treat me right
I feel like going to the cemetery : laying right down and
Feel like going to the cemetery : laying right down and

I aim to take my gun : in your face
Going to let some graveyard : be your resting place
You going to miss me when I'm gone : honey and it won't
be long
When you think I'm going : I'm standing right here with
your *wally* on
When I'm gone : don't you grieve after me

She has the hesitating stockings : the hesitating shoes
*The rich and the poor* : got the hesitating blues
How long now : will I have to wait
Can I get you now : honey have to hesitate
I can learn ??? : not to ball the jack
I can beat anybody : getting the good gal back
And I got a gal : who loves to roll
??? : right by her door
Around the curve : and around the bend
Yonder comes : that engineer
*Rifle's* on the *stage* : my *coffee's* in the *cool*
My little gal's : from Illinois
I'm not so good‑looking : got no curly hair

Take your time kind mama
I'm gon do jus a slow as I can
Take your time kind mama
I'm gon jus do slow as I can
I might start shimmyin'
Don't let nobody in
Make yo bed up higher
Make yo bed up higher
Turn yo lamp way low
I'm going to hug and kiss you
Ain't comin here no mo
Pull down yo window
Lock up all yo do's
Lock up all yo windows
Lock up all yo do's
I've got ways like a devil
I'm sleeping on a flo'
Make yo bed up higher
And turn yo lamp around
Make yo bed up higher
Turn yo lamp around
Look out yo back do
See me leave this town.

You don't believe I'm traveling : on the road somewhere
Get your book : and count come and count the days I'm
gone
You can go to *Moosefall* : find me there
Yes if I drink smoky : find me on the road somewhere
You can talk about your brick house : but you ought to
see mine
It ain't so pretty : but it ??? fine
I got up this morning : looked at the rising su
Can't nobody run me : like them bloodhounds done
I got up in my stockings : tipping across the floor
Scared the bloodhounds : are rapping upon my door
Now chickens on my back : and there's the hounds on my
track
I dropped my head : and I couldn't stop to look back
I could hear those pistol balls : zooming by my head
I believe to my soul : they going to kill me dead
I got up this morning : just about the break of day
I could hear *a bunch of* bloodhounds : a‑coming down my
I got up this morning : fell down across my bed

My mama dead, Lord
Papa can't be found
My mama dead an, Lord
Papa can't be found
I ain't got me nobody
Throw my arms around
Yon' come the devil, we gonna
Set this town on fire
Yon' come the devil
Gonna start this town on fire
'llow me a chance comes up
Until I bid this town, goodbye
I got ways like a devil
Sleep in the lion's den
I got ways like a devil
Sleep in a lion's den
Doggin' fer 'em, steal to get 'em
Bought her ticket in
Let me tell you, mama
What you said last night
Lay down on my bedside
Try to treat me right
Lord, I'm goin up the country
But cryin won't make me stay
I'm goin up the country
Cryin' won't make me stay
More you cry

You did cause me to weep : you did cause me to moan
You did cause me : to leave my home
I cried last night : and the night before
And I swore : not to cry no more
In eighteen hundred : and ninety‑nine
He got killed on that streetcar line
They took him down : that smoky road
Brought him back : on that cooling board
Says run here mama : and fall in your daddy's breast

She's long and tall : and wears a diamond ring
But she can beat anybody : at doing that thing
You go through the *barrel* : and you ride like a *tiger*
