bir lonnie chatmon ve walter vinson şarkısıdır, aynı zamanda bir blues klasiği olduğu için piyasada coverlamayan kalmamıştır. mesela creamwheels of fire'da coverlamış, goodbye'a da canlı kaydını koymuştur. bob dylan, greatful dead, ray charles gibi abilerimiz de bu kavır kervanındandır.
arada sözler değişir ama genel olarak şudur olay:
one summer day, she went away
she's gone and left me, she's gone to stay
lord she's gone, but i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world.
well my lover took with my best friend
some joker got lucky, stoled her back again
lord she's gone, but i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world.
well in the summer i have he fall
i spent my christmas in my overalls
she's gone, but i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world.
going down to the railway to catch a freight train
i'm gonna leavw this town, for her i'm bound
she's gone, but i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world.
one summer day, she went away
she's gone and left me, she's gone to stay
she's gone, gone, gone but i don't worry
'cause i'm sitting on top of the world.
