1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. The 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.
