One summer day, she went away
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
She's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world

All last summer, worked on this farm
Had to take Christmas in my overalls
She's gone, gone, but I don't worry, no
'Cause I'm sittin', sittin' on top of the world

Going down to the freight yard, yeah, yeah, yeah
Gonna catch me a freight train
Gonna leave this town, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Work done got to hard
She's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin', I'm sittin'on top of the world.
