Sittin’ on Top of the World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 sitting on top of the world

[Verse 2]
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 sitting on top of the world

[Verse 3]
Now don't come running
Holding 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 sitting on top of the world
[Verse 4]
Happen for days
Didn't know your name
Why should I worry
Or crave you in vain?
Now she's gone
I don't worry
Lord, I'm sitting on top of the world

[Verse 5]
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 sitting on top of the world

[Verse 6]
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 sitting on top of the world

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
