Was all the summer an' all the fall Jus' tryin' to find my li'l all in all But now she's gone, I dont worry I'm sittin' on top of the world Was in the spring, one summer day Jus' when she left me, she's gone to stay But now she's gone, I dont worry I'm sittin' on top of the world Need no come here runnin' holdin' up Your hand 'Can get me a woman quicker 'n you can a man But now she's gone, I don't worry I'm sittin' on top of the world It have been days I didn't know your name Why should I worry an' prayer in vain But now she's gone, I don't worry I'm sittin' on top of the world Goin' to the station, down in the yard Gon' get me a freight train — Work done got hard But now she's gone, I don't worry I'm sittin' on top of the world The lonesome days, they have gone by Why should you beg me an' say goodbye But now she's gone, I don't worry I'm sittin' on top of the world
