One summer day, she went away
She's gone and left me, she's gone to stay
Lord she's gone, but I don't worry

'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Well my lover took with my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stoled her back again

Lord she's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Well in the summer I have the fall

I spent my Christmas in my overalls
She's gone but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Going down to the railway to catch a freight train
I'm gonna leave this town, for her I'm bound
She's gone, but I don't worry

'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Well if your blue skies have turned to gray
Don't let it get you down

Don't you worry little momma, Lord I'll be around
Come on in my kitchen honey, don't be shy
And kick your little shoes off baby

And let me tell you why
One summer day, she went away
She's gone and left me, she's gone to stay

Lord she's gone, gone, gone but I don't worry
Sitting on top of the world
I'm sittin' on top of the world

Oh Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
