Subject: RE: Earliest Version: Sporting Life Blues?
Brownie McGhee had it on a 10" Folkways album that came out in the 1950's sometime. I'll try to remember to check the date.

Also what is the relation, if any, between this song and the tune by W. Nelson, W. Breeland and P. Buskirk called Night Life? I always thought they were similar in feel and meaning and the later may have drawn upon the former.
