The riff is the same as in Fred McDowell's 'You Gotta Move' (notably covered by the Rolling Stones), which in turn is based on 'Sittin' on Top of the World.' The connection (to both songs) is especially hearable in Sam Collins' rendition of 'I'm Still Sitting On Top The World.'
The lyrics are a perfect distillation of some of the Blues' most prominent themes (death, God, being poor, working hard).
