2. Sitting on Top of the World (4:56)
One summer day, she went away
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
She's gone, but I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
All the summer, worked on this farm
Had to take Christmas in my overalls
She's gone, but I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard
Gonna catch me a freight train
Gonna leave this town
Work done got too hard
She's gone, but I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
[Goodbye Cream:]
One summer day, she went away
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
She's gone, but I don't worry
Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world
All last summer, worked on this farm
Had to take Christmas in my overalls
She's gone, gone, but I don't worry, no
Cause I'm sittin', sittin' on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard, yeh, yeh, yeh
Gonna catch me a freight train
Gonna leave this town, yeh, yeh, yeh
Work done got too hard
She's gone, but I don't worry
Cause I'm sittin', I'm sittin'on top of the world
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
She's gone, but I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
All the summer, worked on this farm
Had to take Christmas in my overalls
She's gone, but I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard
Gonna catch me a freight train
Gonna leave this town
Work done got too hard
She's gone, but I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
[Goodbye Cream:]
One summer day, she went away
Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
She's gone, but I don't worry
Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world
All last summer, worked on this farm
Had to take Christmas in my overalls
She's gone, gone, but I don't worry, no
Cause I'm sittin', sittin' on top of the world
Going down to the freight yard, yeh, yeh, yeh
Gonna catch me a freight train
Gonna leave this town, yeh, yeh, yeh
Work done got too hard
She's gone, but I don't worry
Cause I'm sittin', I'm sittin'on top of the world
