| Was all the summer, and all the fall
|
| Just tryin' to find my, little Lenore
|
| But now she’s gone, I don’t worry
|
| 'Cause I’m sitting on top of the world
|
| Was in the spring, one summer day
|
| Just when she left me, she’s gone to stay
|
| But now she’s gone, I don’t worry
|
| I’m sitting on top of the world
|
| Then you come here runnin'
|
| Holdin' up your hand
|
| Can get me a woman
|
| Quick as you can get a man
|
| But now she’s gone, I don’t worry
|
| I’m sitting on top of the world
|
| (Instrumental)
|
| It have been days
|
| I didn’t know your name
|
| Why should I worry and prayer in vain?
|
| But now she’s gone, I don’t worry
|
| I’m sitting on top of the world
|
| Goin' to the station, down in the yard
|
| Gon' get me a freight train
|
| Worked some, got hard
|
| But now she’s gone, I don’t worry
|
| I’m sitting on top of the world
|
| The lonesome days, they have gone by Why should you beg me and say goodbye?
|
| But now she’s gone, I don’t worry
|
| I’m sitting on top of the world |
