One summer day, she went away;
Gone and left me, she´s gone to stay.
She´s gone, but I don´t worry:

I´m sitting on top of the world.

All the summer, worked all this fall.
Had to take Christmas in my overalls.
She´s gone, but I don´t worry:
I´m sitting on top of the world.

Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train.
Going to leave this town; worked and got to home.
She´s gone, but I don´t worry:
I´m sitting on top of the world.
