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
