| Notes |
|---|
| Victor documentation of this master is difficult to interpret. Take 3, with two guitar accompaniment only, is listed as being recorded a day after takes 4 and 5. A handwritten notation in the Victor ledgers indicates that take 3 was dubbed as "1R" and was mastered but no 78-rpm release of take 3 is known to have been issued. |
| Victor ledgers: "Mr. Ralph Peer, present." |
