One summer day 

She went away 

Gone and left me 

She's gone to stay 

She's gone, but I don't worry 

Because I'm sitting on top of the world 



I'm going down to the hardware 

Gonna buy me a hacksaw 

Gonna free my heard 

Cut that pain away 

She's gone, but I don't worry 

Because I'm sitting on top of the world 



I'm going down to the graveyard 

Gonna buy me a tombstone 

Gonna leave this town 

Lived here too long 

She's gone, but I don't worry 

Because I'm sitting on top of the world
