Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Worked all the summer and all the fall
Just tryin' to find my little ol' Lenore
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
[Verse 2]
Was in the spring one summer day
That's 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
It had been days I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and prayer in vain?
And now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
[Verse 5]
Goin' to the station down in the yard
Gon' get me a freight train, work's done got hard
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world
[Verse 6]
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
