Sittin On Top Of The World
by 
Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf 
recording of 1957 
from 
More Real Folk Blues (MCA 9279) 
One summer day, she went away 
She gone and left me, she gone to stay 
But now she's gone, and I can't worry 
Because I'm sittin' on top of the world 
Worked all the summer, worked all the fall 
Had to take Christmas, in my overalls 
But now she's gone, and I don't worry 
Sittin' on top of the world 
Goin' down to the freight yard, catch me a freight train 
I'm gonna leave this town, work done got hard 
But now she's gone, and I don't worry 
Sittin' on top of the world
