An early example of "what you done done" (later famous for being in "See See Rider") is "Boll Weevil, Boll Weevil, just look what you done done" from a Georgia musician's "Boll Weevil Blues" as quoted in the Monroe [North Carolina] _Journal_, 7/23/1920. Lethia Hill's recording "Old North State Blues" predates Ma Rainey's "See See Rider" and includes "just see what you done done/You made me love you...." It was written by Noah Perkins, who was born in North Carolina in about 1883.
