Dear Dave,
Ross's link, your lead to the lyrics and a list of recordings, plus a
listing I have, provide versions of this song I have never heard.
So why do I know it from a jazz version?
Kenny Ball?
And I have never heard of the Meters, who are listed as its composers:

Maybe, from Geoff Bull here in Oz.
I'll "askt" him later today.
Further digging reveals that it may be a reworking of the 1923 song "Down On
The Farm (They All Ask For You)"

And this looks like the sheet music in both G and F:
