Was all the summer and all the fall

Just trying to find my little all in all

But now she's gone and I don't worry

Lord I'm sitting on top of the world

Was in the spring one summer day

Just when she left me she's gone to stay

But now she's gone and I don't worry

Oh I'm sitting on top of the world

And you come running holding up your hand

Can't get me a woman cranky you can get a man

But now you're gone and now I don't worry

Lord I'm sitting on top of the world

Have been days I didn't know your name

Why should I worry or cry in vain

But now she's gone now I don't worry

Lord I'm sitting on top of the world

Went to the station down in the yard

Gone get me a freight train worked on your hard

But now she's gone and I don't worry

Oh I'm sitting on top of the world

The lonesome days they have gone by

Why should you beg me oh say goodbye

But now she's gone and I don't worry

Oh 'cause I'm sitting on top of the world
