Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One summer day
She went away
She's gone and left me
She's gone to stay
My baby's gone
And I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
[Verse 2]
You know that I worked all the summer
Down on the farm
And oh I had to take Christmas
In my overalls
My baby's gone
And I don't worry
Sittin' on top of the world
[Verse 3]
Goin' down to the freight yard
I'm gonna catch me a train
I believe I heard it comin' now
I know that I'm gonna leave this town now, baby
Worked and got hard
[Verse 4]
My baby's gone
Yes
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Close the door behind you
