[Dixielandjazz] Song Background "Got No Mo Home Dan A Dog"

[Craig I. Johnson]

I found no recording listed of this tune, but I only did simple search.
(Tho it appears to have been featured in a 1958 movie ("St. Louis Blues")
featuring Nat King Cole, Eartha Kitt, Pearl Bailey, Cab Calloway and
Ella Fitzgerald.)

However, reading the lead sheet in Anderson I see that the same melody line
has been used as PART of another multi-part composition, possibly by
Handy or King Oliver. I could play for you from memory. But Damn!
Cab someone please identify the other title that goes with this. It is
nothing
like the one given in these notes..

I have the hardest time sometimes coming up with the actual title of
a tune that I can play  thru completely. -- Bugs the heck out of me.
