On Tom Rush's version (At The Unicorn album) he sings: I don't know my right name, I don't know where I was born (x2) And I been having trouble, seem I was raised in an awful storm. My mama didn't want me when I was only two days old (x2) And the trouble I been having well the good Lord only knows I been treated like an orphan I been worked like a slave (x2) And I never will get my revenge til the Lord take me to the grave Yeah and I been having trouble well ever since I been grown (x2) I'm too old for the orphanage I'm too young for the old folks' home In the reprise of the first two lines he clearly reverts to the words from the Taft.
