E
One summer day
E
She went away
              A
She gone ?n? left me
            A
She gone to stay
            B
But now she gone
          A
And i dont worry
         E
Cause Im sittin on top of the world

Went all the summer
And went on the phone
I had to take my christmas
N my over haul
But now she gone
And i dont worry
Cause im sittin on top of the world

Goin down to the frieght yard
Just to be the freight train
Im on the leave of town
Wait it done gone too hard
But now she gone
And i dont worry
Because im sittin on top of the world

One summer day
She went away
She gone and left me
She gone to stay
But now she gone
And i dont worry
Cause im sittin on top of the world

Doc Watson Version:

Was in the spring one sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Lord she went away
And now shes gone
And i dont worry
Now lord im sittin on top of the world

She called me up
From down in el paso
She said come back daddy
Oh i need you so
And now shes gone
And i dont worry
Now lord im sittin on top of the world

If you dont like my peaches
Dont shake my tree
Get out of my orchard
Let my peaches be
And now shes gone
And i dont worry
Now lord im sittin on top of the world

now dont you come here runnin
holdin out your hand
im gonna get me a woman
like you got your man
and now shes gone
and i dont worry
now lord im sittin on top of the world
