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
|
