It is on "Down in Little Egypt" by Lynn "Chirps" Smith, Vigortone 2002, CD (2003). It comes from a 78 rpm recording by the Flannagan Brothers. They recorded "The Geese in the Bog" and a skit "The Flannagans Chase the Banshee" in NYC in November 1926. These selections were released on Columbia 33126-F and Vocalion 84075. Jim Nelson gave me this 78 and I learned the tune from it. I, of course, made it more of a Midwestern tune. I have the Coleman Center recording, too, but acquired it years later.
