Well, I've always thought it was Son House's song since I don't know of anyone who recorded it any earlier than Son. Also, for those less knowledgeable about Son, he was also quite a preacherman who was known to play blues and drink way into the night in the juike joints and be the firts up delivering a Sunday morning sermon... He was also a tormented man because of problems squaring his drinkin' and bluesin' with his Faith...

So, unless someone knows somethin' that a lot of blues folks, such as myself, about the origin of the song, Iz sticken with Son House.
