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, [Incomprehensible] 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 now when she's saying goodbye?

But now she's gone and I don't worry

'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
