Was all the summer  and all the fall

Just tryin' 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

Then you come here runnin'
Holdin' up your hand
Can get me a woman
Quick as you can 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
