Sittin’ on Top of the World - Ray Charles Songtext
von B.B. King

Work all the summer and all the fall
Just trying to find my little Lenore
But now she′s gone, and I don't worry
′Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

One summer day, when she went away
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
But now she′s gone and I don′t worry
'Cause I′m sitting on top of the world


There was days when I didn't know your name
Why should I worry and pray in vain?
But now she′s gone and I don't worry
′Cause I'm sitting on top of the world, alright

Going to the station down in the yard
Gonna get me a freight train after worked and got too hard
Now she's gone and I don′t worry
Because I′m sitting on top of the world

The lonesome days, they have all gone by
Why should I beg her when she's saying goodbye?
But now she′s gone and I don't worry
′Cause I'm sitting on top of the world
