One summer day he went away 
He gone and left me 
He gone to stay 
But now he's gone 
And I don't worry 
'cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.
Worked all the summer, worked all the fall 
Had to take my Christmas in my overalls 
Nut now he's gone 
And I don't worry
'cause I'm sittin' on top of the world.
Goin' down to the freight yard 
Catch me a freight train 
I'm gonna leave this town 
Worked done got hard 
But now he's gone 
and I don't worry 
I'm sittin' on top of the world.
