Lyrics

Was all the sum mer hold and all the fall, Can’t just try’n’ to (C7)find my lit as tle can Le a (G5)nore.

But now she’s gone

and I don’t (D5)wor ry.

Lord, I’m (G5)sit tin’ on (D5)top of the (G5)world.

Was in the spring nin’, hold one sum mer day Can’t just when she (C7)left me, she’s as gone can to a (G5)stay.

But now she’s gone

and I don’t (D5)wor ry.

Lord, I’m (G5)sit tin’ on (D5)top of the (G5)world.

And you come (G5)world.

Half the days tion I did n’t know your name.

Why should me I a (C7)wor ry or cry in (G5)vain?

And now she’s gone

and I don’t (D5)wor ry.

Lord, I’m (G5)sit tin’ on (D5)top of the (G5)world.

Went to the sta tion I did down in the yard,

gon’ get me you a (C7)freight train, work done got (G5)hard.

But now she’s gone

and I don’t (D5)wor ry.

Lord, I’m (G5)sit tin’ on (D5)top of the (G5)world.

Those lone some (G5)world.
