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.
