One summer day, she went away;

Gone and left me, she's gone to stay.

She's gone, but I don't worry:

I'm sitting on top of the world.



All the summer, worked all this fall.

Had to take Christmas in my overalls.

She's gone, but I don't worry:

I'm sitting on top of the world.



Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train.

Going to leave this town; worked and got to home.

She's gone, but I don't worry:

I'm sitting on top of the world.
