Surely the song "My Creole Belle" by Mississippi John Hurt is derived from one section of an instrumental ragtime piano piece entitled "Creole Belles",a cakewalk by J. Bodewalt Lampe 1900. The Johnson piece quoted above seems to be a much different piece.

Other pieces that use this (John Hurt)tune; "Back Up and Push" and "Rubber Dolly Rag"
