One summer day, he went away
He's gone and left me, he's gone to stay
Now he's gone away, hey, and I can't worry, no, no
'Coz I'm sittin', sittin' on top of the world
Worked all the summer, worked all of the fall
Had to take my Christmas in my overalls
Now he's gone, I don't worry
‘Coz I'm sittin', sittin' on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard
Catch me a freight train
I'm gon' leave this town, worked and got [Incomprehensible]
I'm sittin' on top of the world
Now, he's gone
And I'm sittin' on top of the world
Can't you hear me talking?
Now, he's gone
And I'm sittin' on top of the world, yeah
