My homebois.
These dudes all had real jobs, but played bluegrass. I loved watching them. And I love bluegrass. And why not? As long as you can holler in tune and you got it. It’s like blues in a way.
What they are saying:
Was in the spring, one sunny day
My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away
And now she’s gone and I don’t worry
Lord, I’m sittin’ on top of the worldShe called me up from down in El Paso
She said “Come back, daddy, ooh, I need you so”
And now she’s gone, and I don’t worry
Lord, I’m sittin’ on top of the world
If you don’t like my peaches, don’t you shake my tree
And get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
And now she’s gone, and I don’t worry
Lord, I’m sittin’ on top of the worldAnd don’t you come here runnin’, holdin’ out your hand
I’m gonna get me a woman like you got your man
And now she’s gone, and I don’t worry
Lord, I’m sittin’ on top of the worldIt was in the spring, one sunny day
My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away
And now she’s gone, and I don’t worry
Lord, I’m sittin’ on top of the world
Man, what a song for a single dude, free of a Karen.
