I have at least 3 versions of the song. It often is recorded as "the Junkman Blues".

"Junkman Blues - Lew Stone and the Mons Band - voc, Al Bowlly & Nat Gonella - Dec 1932" is available at the Martin's 78 Turntable site:

Another version was performed by the "Spirits of Rhythm" in 1934.


"Any Rags, Any Bones, Any bottles Today" was also a refrain in a "Coon Song" sung by Arthur Collins in a 1913 Edison Diamond Disk Recording. It might have been a source of influence on the later recordings but they really are very different songs.
