cause im sitting on top of the world
It was in the spring one sunny day And now she’s gone but I don’t worry She called me up from down in El Paso Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Mississippi River, long, deep and wide You don’t like my peaches, don’t you shake my tree Don’t you come here running, holding out your hand "I'm Sitting on Top of the World" is a popular song with music written by Ray Henderson and lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young. It was published in 1925. It is now in the public domain.
The song was most likely first recorded by Art Gillham (‘the Whispering Pianist’), who recorded ‘I'm Sitting on Top of the World’ on 24 October 1925. Al Jolson's recording was made on December 21, 1925.[2] Jolson sang it in the 1928 part-talkie film The Singing Fool and in his biographical movie The Jolson Story in 1946.
Popular recordings in 1926 were by Jolson, Roger Wolfe Kahn and His Hotel Biltmore Orchestra, and by Frank Crumit.[3] Notable interpretations have been recorded by these performers:[4]
