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
