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.
