Sittin' on Top of the World Songtext
von Don McLean

Was in the summer
One early fall
Just tryin′ to find my
Little all and all

Now she's gone
And I don′t worry
Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world

Was in the spring
One summer′s day
Just when she left me
She gone to stay

Now she′s gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I′m sittin' on top of the world.

Now don′t come runnin'
Holdin′ up your hand
Can get me a woman
Quick as you can get a man


Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I′m sittin′ on top of the world

Happen for days
Didn't know your name
Oh, why should I worry
Or crave you in vain?

Now she′s gone
I don't worry
Lord, I′m sittin' on top of the world

Went to the station
Down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train
Work′s done got hard

Now she's gone
And I don't worry
Lord, I′m sittin′ on top of the world

The lonesome days
They have gone by
Why should I beg you?
You said goodbye


Now she's gone
I don′t worry
Lord, I'm sittin′ on top of the world
