Was all the summer and all the fall

Just trying to find my little Lenore

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

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



An' 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



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
