One summer day, he ran away
He gone and left me, he gone to stay
But now he gone, and I don't worry
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
Worked all the summer, worked all the fall
Had to take Christmas in my overall
And now he gone, and I don't watch out
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
Goin' down to the freight yard, catch me a freight train
I'm goin' leave this town, worked and got home
But now he gone, and I don't worry
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
But now he gone, and I don't worry
Because I'm sitting on top of the world
