One summer day, she went away
She's gone and left me, she's gone to stay
Lord she's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.

Well my lover took with my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
Lord she's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.

Well in the summer I have he fall
I spent my Christmas in my overalls
She's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.

Going down to the railway to catch a freight train
I'm gonna leave this town, for her I'm bound
She's gone, but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.

One summer day, she went away
She's gone and left me, she's gone to stay
She's gone, gone, gone but I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world.
