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 worldWas 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 worldNow, 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 worldHappen 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 worldWent 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 worldThe 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
