In a Doc Watson music book I have, this song is titled 'Settin' On Top Of The World'. It was originally done by the Mississippi Sheiks and has been covered by many people, including the Grateful Dead.
Doc commented that 'I fashioned my arrangements from Frank Hutchinson's The Train That Carried My Girl From Town and Worried Blues; I just worked out a finger-picking version in an open tuning'. (It is open D tuning, capo first fret).
If you don't know Doc, consider finding his songs. He is a formidable finger-picker and flat picker, he sings, and plays other instruments such as banjo, blues harp, and mandolin.
For a truly remarkable essay on meeting Doc, seeing him play live in later life, and how he interacts with other musicians, read the following article; it is fantastic:

I have done a slideshow video featuring mostly early images of Doc and other bits and pieces, around the same period as this song.
Comments are invited.

Ira and Riley showed off their talents in the most energetic and engaging show Welland Parish Hall has seen in a long time. Everyone's support helped raise much needed contributions for the Church Develoment Fund.
If you missed it watch this space for more old time musical events coming to Welland next year.
