Dear Tony,
Further to my post re 'Back Bottom", I said [in part]
 >and they is identical.<
Did I really say that?
No, I haven't had a drink since Monday!
I have searched for other versions of the song, looking for the lyrics, and
discovered that they are few and far between.
Both Temperance Seven versions are hopelessly rushed but, apart from
omitting the word 'buddy', the words are basically the same.
It therefore looks like the Annette Hanshaw is the definitive vocal
rendition.
Regards,
Bill.
