One summer day he went away
He gone and left me
He gone to stay
But now he's gone
And I don't worry
'cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.

Worked all the summer, worked all the fall
Had to take my Christmas in my overalls
Nut now he's gone
And I don't worry
'cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.

Goin' down to the freight yard
Catch me a freight train
I'm gonna leave this town
Worked done got hard
But now he's gone
and I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world.
