It was copyrighted by Robert Hoffman in 1909 and with lyrics in 1910. The

> Don’t you feel my leg, don’t you feel my leg
> cause when you feel my leg your going to feel my thigh
> and if you feel my thigh your going to tell a lie
> so don’t you feel my leg

etc.
(Blue Lu Barker and Danny Barker are credited with the lyrics and song)

the other song is known as "Alabama Bound:"

> I’m Alabama bound (I’m Alabama bound)
> I’m Alabama bound (I’m Alabama bound)
> And if the train don’t stop and turn around
> I’m Alabama bound (I’m Alabama bound)

(and whoever first wrote that is not quite evident  - maybe  Charlie
"Catfish" Patton?)
