The song has often been covered and become a regular staple of many blues artists. In many versions the title has been abrigded to "Sitting On Top of The World".

In 2004, Jack White (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs) covered it as "Sittin' On Top of The World" for the original soundtrack of the movie "Cold Mountain".
Other notable interpretations were recorded by these performers: Les Paul & Mary Ford, Doris Day, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie, Jerry Lewis, Cream, and Bill Monroe. (Source: CarlinAmerica.com)
Additionally, the song "I'm On My Way" by The Proclaimers makes reference to the song, saying "I'd have Al Jolson sing 'I'm sittin' on top of the world'.

Was all the summer, and all the fall, Just trying to find my little all in all But now she's gone, and I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day Just when she left me, she's gone to stay But now she's gone, and I don't worry Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
An' you come runnin', holdin' up your hand Can't get me a woman, cranky you can get a man But now you're gone, and now I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Have been days, I didn't know your name Why should I worry or cry in vain But now she's gone, now I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Went to the station, down in the yard Gone get me a freight train, worked on your hard But now she's gone, and I don't worry Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by Why should you beg me oh say goodbye But now she's gone, and I don't worry Oh cause I'm sitting on top of the world

I'm Sitting On Top Of The World
Was all the summer, and all the fall,
Just trying to find my little all in all
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
An' you come runnin', holdin' up your hand
Can't get me a woman, cranky you can get a man
But now you're gone, and now I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry or cry in vain
But now she's gone, now I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Went to the station, down in the yard
Gone get me a freight train, worked on your hard
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me oh say goodbye
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Oh cause I'm sitting on top of the world
AL JOLSON
