Just come up on something what surprised me. The version in The Hobo's Hornbook, George Milburn, 1930, Pp 242-3 is called "Boomer's Blues." Essentially the same as Cisco Houston but for bits of hobo slang. In the first two lines of the verse two above: Met a little broad in 'Frisco, Ast her to be my storm and strife No reason it's impossible but I never Cockney rhyming slang in a USian folksong before.
