[Verse 1]
E
One summer day
E        E7
She went away
                  A
She gone 'n' left me
                Am
She gone to stay
                E
But now she gone
             F# B
And I don't worry
            E
Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world

[Verse 2]
E
Worked all a summer
E            E7
Worked all a fall
                    A
I had to take Christmas
               Am
in my overalls
                  E
But now she's gone
             F# B
And I don't worry
           E
Cause I'm sittin' on top of the world

[Verse 3]
E
Goin' down to the freight yard
E            E7
Catch me a freight train
                   A
Gonna leave this town
                        Am
Work done gone too hard
                 E
But now she gone
             F# B
And I don't worry
           E
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world

One summer day

Doc Watson Version:
E|-------------------|

Was in the spring one sunny day
My sweetheart left me
Lord she went away
And now she's gone
And I don't worry
Now Lord I'm 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 she's gone
And I don't worry
Now Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world

If you don't like my peaches
Don't shake my tree
Get out of my orchard
Let my peaches be
And now she's gone
And I don't worry
Now Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world

Now don't you come here runnin'
Holdin' out your hand
I'm gonna get me a woman
Like you got your man
And now she's gone
And I don't worry
Now Lord I'm sittin' on top of the world
