This is a song, got a lot of [G] different versions.
I know the [Em] the Jug Band I think does a [Am] version of this and
this goes all the way back to some of the early early Jug Bands.
Was it the Mississippi Sheiks or the
Cannon [G] Jugs and Mississippi Sheiks did this?
But I learned this from Doc Watson.
So this is a slightly different version.
It's called Sitting on Top of the World.
