I'll dig it out and look into it. Maybe tomorrow.

Oh, hey, I just happened to think of one ~~ Jim Glaser, in fact, that MAY be the first version I really paid attention to.   That was on a Starday LP, I still have it somewhere. A nice album, Frozen Logger, Dying Hobo,

Just went looking for a reference. Here it is, copy and paste.
