The Silverman Book I have was published in the early 60's and has it listed as 2nd or 3rd publication. As I remember anyway.

My favorite version is the one done by The Lovin' Spoonful on their first or second LP. It really shows John Sebastian's skill on the harmonica.

For some reason I had it credited to Bill Broonzy or Gary Davis but I am not surprised to hear it is a Brownie McGee song.
