Funny that this post came up when it did.

I am just learning "John Booker" from Mel Bay's Frailing the 5-string Banjo by Eric Muller and Barbara Koeler. It lists a source of an original recording as "Elektra EKS 7276". The version that is shown doesn't have your words in it though.

It is in the DT if you search on "john booker" and not Johny.
