I think the Waterboys song is different.
I don't have the Champion Jack Dupree recording (1946), but it is definitely the same blues that the Avon City Skiffle Group recorded.
I used to have that EP (now sadly lost) and used to sing the song.
I half remember it (it's ripe for revival), but will wait to see if you get any other, more helpful, replies before I burden you with my
half-remembered version.
