Sittin' on Top of the World Lyrics
One summer day
She went away
She gone an left me
She gone to stay
But now she gone
An' I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world
Works all the summer
And worked all the fall
I had to take my Christmas
In my over-halls*
But now she's gone
An' I don't worry
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world
Goin' down to the freight yard
Just to meet a freight train
I'm gon' leave this town
Work has done gotten too hard
But now she's gone
And I don't worry
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world
One summer day
She went away
She gone an left me
She gone to stay
But now she gone
And I don't worry
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world
She went away
She gone an left me
She gone to stay
An' I don't worry
'Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world
Works all the summer
I had to take my Christmas
In my over-halls*
But now she's gone
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world
Goin' down to the freight yard
Just to meet a freight train
I'm gon' leave this town
Work has done gotten too hard
And I don't worry
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world
One summer day
She gone an left me
She gone to stay
But now she gone
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world

I've only recently heard this version. I guess this is the original.. I have mostly only heard Jack White's covers of it. I've always been a big fan though. Every time I go climbing or wandering in the Arizona desert or whatever, I just forget my worries and feel like I'm on top of the world. This song plays in my head.. every time.
