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.
    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.
    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.
    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.
  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.
    The lonesome days
  They have gone by
  Why should I beg you ?
  You said goodbye
  Now she's gone
  An' I don't worry
  Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world.
