Was in the spring one summer day
Just when she left me she thought she`d stay
But now she`s gone I don`t worry

Didn`t you come runnin` holdin` out your hand
Can`t find me a woman quicker than you can find

Why should I worry myself in vain
But now she`s gone I don`t worry
I`m Sittin` On Top Of The World

Went to the station down in the yard
Goin` to get me a freight train works done got hard
But now she`s gone I don`t worry
I`m Sittin` On Top Of The World
6.
The lonesome days they have gone by
Why should you beg me and say good-bye
But now she`s gone I don`t worry
I`m Sittin` On Top Of The World
