The pdf I posted earlier will give you the melody line, also in the key of G. I'm watching/listening to the Alan Bibey video and working with that pdf to try to figure out a version that works for me.

you can lead a horse to water ,but you can't teach an old dog to drink,
or something like that.
writing about music
is like dancing,
about architecture
The Bessie Smith and Ida Cox version is in Woody Mann's The Blues Fakebook on pp. 50-51 in std. notation with chords & lyrics.
