Uncle Dave's song is already in the DT, minus the spoken bits, under the title 'Old Plank Road'. To my ears, your transcription is the more accurate. The only place that I hear something different from your transcription is where Uncle Dave sings the minstrel 'gwine' rather than 'going to' in the 'scaffold' verse, but many would change that deliberately.
'Way Down the Old Plank Road' is available on CD on Uncle Dave Macon 'Go Long Mule' County CO-CD-3505.
