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

All the summer,
 worked on this farm 
Had to take Christmas
 in my overalls. 
She's gone,
 but I don't worry, 
I'm sittin' on top of the world.

 
Going down to the freight yard, 
Gonna catch me a freight train. 
Gonna leave this town, 
Work done got to hard. 
She's gone,
 but I don't worry, 
I'm sittin' on top of the world.
