work all the summer and all the fall
just trying to find my little lenore
but now she's gone
and i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world
one summer day when she went away
just when she left me
she's gone to stay
but now she's gone and i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world
there was days when i didn't know your name
why should i worry and prayer in vain
but now she's gone and i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world
alright
going to the station
down in the yard
gonna get me a freight train
after worked and got too hard
now she's gone and i don't worry
because i'm sitting on top of the world
the lonesome days they have gone by
why should i beg her when she's saying goodbye?
but now she's gone and i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world
