1. Was in the summer,

One early fall,

Just tryin' to find my

Little all and all

Now she's gone,

An' I don't worry.

Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world.



2. Was in the spring,

One summer's day.

Just when she left me,

She gone to stay.

Now she's gone.

An' I don't worry.

Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world.



3. Now don't come runnin'

Holdin' up your hand.

Can get me a woman

Quick as you can get a man.

Now she's gone.

An' I don't worry.

Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world.



4. Happen for days,

Didn't know your name.

Oh, why should I worry

Or crave you in vain?

Now she's gone.

An' I don't worry.

Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world.



5. Went to the station,

Down in the yard,

Gonna get me a freight train,

Work's done got hard.

Now she's gone.

An' I don't worry.

Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world.



6. The lonesome days,

They have gone by,

Why should I beg you?

You said good-bye.

Now she's gone.

An' I don't worry.

Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world.
