Subject: RE: LYR REQ - Riley the Furniture Man
I have an old version somewhere, too, but don't remember it as being by the Cofer Brothers. So its location is strictly unknown at the moment.

Just made a preliminary search, no luck. Did turn up Furniture Man by Lil McClintock on Before The Blues, vol. 3 on Yazoo. (If there ever was a devil born without horns, it musta been a furniture man) Charlie Poole's It's Movin' Day is about the evil landlord, which is at least a related topic.

Kinda looks like two guys grabbing (or not grabbing) for the check, doesn't it?
