Sitting on the top of the world

One summer day,

She went away.

She gone and left me,

She gone to stay.

But now she gone,

And I don't worry.

'Cause I'm sitting

On top of the world.

Worked all the summer,

And worked all the fall.

I had to take my Christmas,

In my overall.

But now she gone,

And I don't worry.

Because I'm sitting

On top of the world.

Goin' down to the freight yard,

Just to meet a freight train.

I'm gonna leave this town,

Well it's just got too hard.

But now she gone,

And I don't worry.

'Cause I'm sitting

On top of the world.

One summer day,

She went away.

She gone and left me,

She gone to stay.

But now she gone,

And I don't worry.

'Cause I'm sitting

On top of the world.
