Work all the summer and all the fall
Just trying to find my little Lenore
But now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
One summer day when she went away
Just when she left me she's gone to stay
But now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
There was days when I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and prayer in vain
But now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world alright
Going to the station down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train
Incomprehensible got too hard
Now she's gone and I don't worry
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days they have gone by
Why should I beg now
When she's saying goodbye?
But now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
