History
Jeff,
I think this performance is instrumental (vocal is clearly indicated for the other side Memphis Blues)
Video attached is for 1927 performance by "Levee Loungers" (pseudo of Willard Robison) released on Pathé 36745 and Perfect 14926, with vocal by Frank Bessinger.
Your opinion?

You haven't read correctly my comment about video! It's not the right video for 1937 performance…
Sorry. You're right of course.
