Sitting On Top of the World is a perfect example of how close the  ties of 
blues and bluegrass are, or were. It's an old Walter Jacobs blues song  that 
Bill Monroe recorded a couple years after Sonny Terry did. 
 
  From what i've read, Sitting on Top of the World was composed  and 
performed in 1930 by the Mississippi Sheiks, apparently a very popular  gtr & fiddle 
group of the time.   Here's a link for  info:
