From the U of A website you linked to, I respectfully suggest that the writer made a mistake:

"Four Day Creep" was written by Jesse Crump, Cox's husband, and is sometimes listed as "Fore Day Creep" (www.redhotjazz.com). Ida Cox performed this song live in concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on December 24, 1938 with Shad Collins on trumpet, Dickie Wells on trombone, James P. Johnson on piano, and Jo Jones on drums (Cox). Two additional band members were listed – Buddy Tate on "ts" and Walter Page on "sb" – but I could not make out what instruments the initials stood for. The above lyrics were translated to page myself while listening to the song. I believe them to be more correct that the alternate versions I found later in online databases and wonder if they were taken from a different performance/recording of "Four Day Creep." "


The 1927 version was entitled "'fore Day Creep" and someone at my old Alma Mater got it wrong (I suggest respectfully).


Get the heavies (Jim Dixon and Q) on this when you can.
