The Red Hot Jazz Archive has two recordings of WININ' BOY BLUES performed by Jelly Roll Morton, with solo voice and piano only. The earlier one was recorded in Washington DC, in December, 1938. It is, in my opinion, musically inferior, but the lyrics are interesting. In this version, Morton sometimes distinctly pronounces "winding"—which should eliminate any suspicion that he meant "whining."

I'm the win'in' boy. Don't deny my name.
Win'in' boy. Don't deny my name, oh, babe.
Win'in' boy, don't deny my name.
I'm gonna pick it up an' shake it like stavin' chains.
I'm the win'in' boy. Don't deny my name.

Ev'ry time the changing of the moon,
Ev'ry time there's changing of the moon,
Ev'ry time the changing of the moon,
I know I'll be right back with my baby soon.
I'm the windin' boy. Don't deny my name.

I'm the windin' boy, yes, the windin' boy.
Yes, the winding boy. I mean, I'm the winding boy, baby.
I'm the windin' boy. Don't deny my name.
I'm gonna pick it up an' shake it like stavin' chains.
I'm the winding boy. Don't deny my dog-gone name.

I never b'lieved in havin' one woman at a time.
I never b'lieved in having one woman at a time, yes, at a time.
Never b'lieved in havin' one woman at a time.
I always have six, seven, eight, or nine.
I'm the windin' boy. Don't deny my dog-gone name.

The later version, recorded in New York, in December 14, 1939, has a slower, melancholy tempo:

I'm the win'in' boy. Don't deny my name.
I'm the win'in' boy. Don't deny my name, my name.
Win'in' boy, don't deny my name.
Pick it up an' shake it like sweet stavin' chains.
I'm the win'in' boy. Don't deny my name.

Mama, mama, mama, look at Sis.
Mama, mama, won't you look at Sis. Look at Sis.
Mama, mama, look at Sis.
She's out on the levee doin' the double twist.
I'm the win'in' boy. Don't deny my name.

I'm the win'in' boy. Mm-hm.
Mm-hm, mm-hm, oh, baby.
Yes, I'm the win'in' boy. Don't deny my name.
Pick it up and shake it like sweet stavin' chains.
Mm-hm, don't deny my name.

There are also two mostly instrumental versions by Jelly Roll Morton's New Orleans Jazzmen, recorded September 14, 1939, in which Morton only sings the first verse.]
