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.
