I think the first version I heard was Mississippi John Hurt - actually, a friend who’s a big MJH buff played it, and I accompanied on banjo. Later I heard the Flatt and Scruggs bluegrass version, and those are the lyrics I use.

Wonderful guitar playing - nice blend of percussive and playing lead. Your vocals match the tone of the bluegrass guitar playing perfectly. I really enjoyed the energy in your excellent acoustic one-take!
Not familiar with this song but really enjoyed this, nice vocal delivery and great guitar rhythm that really had my foot tapping.
Yeah, this is certainly a classic tune.
I’m loving your percussive and nimble guitar work for sure.
Really great performance; I bet this went over well when busking (I’m sure you played this busking).
