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.
