Lyrics:
 G7
 One summer day, she went away
 C7
 Gone and left me, she's gone to stay
Chorus:
 G7D7
        She's gone but I don't worry
I'm sittin on top of the world
 G7C7G7D7
                    All the summer worked all this fall
had to take christmas in my overalls
Chorus
Solo
Goin down to the graveyard gonna catch me a freight train
gonna leave this town work done got too hard
Chorus
 G#7G7
