One summer day he ran away
He gone and left me, he gone to stay
But now he gone and I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

All the summer worked on a farm
Had to take Christmas in my overall
And now he gone and I don't worry, child
Because I'm sitting on top of the world

Going down to the freight yard
Catch me a freight train
I'm gonna leave this town
Work done got hard
But now he gone and I don't worry
Because I'm sitting on top of the world

And now he gone and I don't worry
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
