Memory is uncertain, but I'm practically sure I heard Bob Gibson do substantially the Country Boy song BEFORE any of the artists / "composers" cited above.

I know for a fact Susan Reed did an early version with the jaybird verses, perhaps as early as the late 1940s, but certainly no later than 1952.

Much of it is traditional lyric, including the "country boy, money have I none" verse /refrain.

What you've got here is another o' them folksong thangs copped by writer/performers, with a new verse or two to make copyright stick.
