Definitely a blues song--in a minor key and each verse is three lines with the first one repeated. The band includes the renowned blues man Big Bill Broonzy playing rhythm guitar and Washboard Sam playing his musical washboard that includes a bell, with which he plays the final note.
It was recorded in the Leland Hotel in Aurora, Ill., which still stands but is now a high-rise apartment building.
