Transcription by Allyn Dimock. There are doubtless errors. Please use in conjunction with recorded song on "Michael Cooney: Singer of Old Songs" Front Hall 007. Rag in C. 4/4 with swing. Accompaniment transcribed, break is similar except mm 22-27. Note the G run is very similar to Blind Blake's version but the rest of the arrangement is fancier. Note: it's been a while since I double checked against the record, so the arrangement could have shifted slightly for my fingers: Just take the version on the record and put it through your handy MacFolk (tm) folk processor a few times to get this version.
