One summer day, she went away
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
She's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
All that summer, worked all this fall
Had to take Christmas, in my overalls
She's gone, gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting, sitting on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train
Going to leave this town, work done got too hard
But she's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting, I'm sitting on top of the world
