Yes, a lot of people have recorded the tune. Probably more without lyrics than with. I have Django's recording and I think I have one by Sidney Bechet as well. As I recall David Grisman and Stéphane Grappelli recorded the tune as well. I'll check the album.

Lonesome Dove, who started this thread, originally asked about Bob Wills' veresion of the tuhe. I didn't post a link to it but I found a clip of Wills recording and he seems to be using the same lyrics that Joe posted. Wills could be using a subset of lyrics, the clip didn't contain the entire performance, but he definately wasn't using the lyrics from the Smithsonian Collection.
