One summer day, she went away
She's gone and left me, she's gone to stay
My baby's gone and I don't worry
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
You know that I worked all the summer, down on the farm
And oh, I had to take Christmas in my overalls
My baby's gone and I don't worry
Sitting on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard, I'm gonna catch me a train
I believe I hear it coming now
I know that I'm gonna to leave this town, now baby
Worked and got hard
My baby's gone, yes
'Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
Close the door behind you
