by
recording of 1930
from The Blues (Smithsonian RD 101-2),
It was all the summer, and all the fall
Just trying to find my little all and all
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
It 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 sittin' on top of the world
You may come
here running, holding up your hands
I can't get me a woman, couldn't even
get a man
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
There have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and pray
in vain
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
Going to the station down in the yard
Gone get me a freight train, waiting done got hard
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should beg me and say goodbye
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
