That sounds the same as this one that has John Lomax's name on the album cover (he recorded it) and, according to Wikipedia, Lomax's is the earliest known recording (1933), though the song may be much older. James "Iron Head" Baker is credited for the lead vocal.

This one sounds like the same recording, also.
