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
