Notes

Played by the Second Story Men, featuring Pigpen, at the Tangent in Palo Alto in 1963.

Authorship uncertain. Hopkins recordings give Hopkins writing credits. Other recordings give various names or traditional. There is also a song of this title recorded by a number of big bands with vocalists - the Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson and Duke Ellington bands for example. It has not yet been determined if this is the same song.
