Gibb, here is a link to it, "clipped" so that you can read it: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/92170844/

Re the Tommy Topkins line, it reads to me as if Tompkins made it up himself, so I do agree it's not standard.

Regarding the veracity and faithfulness of the Lomaxes and their transcriptions, you and others on here know much more than I, but I've had difficulty reading some of these early examples to the "current" tune without excessive stretching or straining. Which I believe is a point Jonathan (Lighter) has made.
