Thanks for posting this -- before today I had only heard Ray Charles's version, but after reading about the song on Wikipedia, I wanted to hear it in its originally recorded version.
I also found a search hit in the book "Conversation with the Blues" by Paul Oliver, in which Sykes says he got the song from a musician he once played with called St. Louis Jimmy.

this guy's killer! what a song! People don't know how to write this kind a songs anymore. It's either bitches this and that or it's so phoney like those numerous boybands. It's like love has gone away and been replaced with bitterness and hatred

Mine too. He was a piano playin' mother fuyer.
I'm trying to find my box set of "The Paramount Masters" when he recorded for the label as "Dobby Bragg".
