One summer day, she went away,
She gone and left me, she gone to stay
But now she's gone, and I don't worry,
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world
Worked all the summer, worked all the fall,
Had to work Christmas in my overalls
But now she's gone, and I don't worry,
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a train,
Gonna leave this town, work done got hard
But now she's gone, and I don't worry,
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world
