Was all the summer, and all the fall

Just tryin' to find my, little Lenore

But now she's gone, I don't worry

'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world



Was in the spring, one summer day

Just when she left me, she's gone to stay

But now she's gone, I don't worry

I'm sitting on top of the world



Then you come here runnin'

Holdin' up your hand

Can get me a woman

Quick as you can get a man

But now she's gone, I don't worry

I'm sitting on top of the world



(Instrumental)



It have been days

I didn't know your name

Why should I worry and prayer in vain?

But now she's gone, I don't worry

I'm sitting on top of the world



Goin' to the station, down in the yard

Gon' get me a freight train

Worked some, got hard

But now she's gone, I don't worry

I'm sitting on top of the world



The lonesome days, they have gone by

Why should you beg me and say goodbye?

But now she's gone, I don't worry

I'm sitting on top of the world
