Sittin' On Top Of The World by Dr. Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain

Was all the summer and all the fall
Just trying to find my little Lenore
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

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 sitting on top of the world

An' you come here runnin', holdin' up your hand
Can get me a woman quick as you can get a man
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

It have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and prayer in vain?
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

Goin' to the station, down in the yard
Gon’ get me a freight train, worked some got hard
But now she's gone, I don't worry
I'm sitting on top of the world

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
