Question about Hank Williams' "Jambalaya"

Thank you, don’t ask. I laughed out loud when I read that. The other 704 viewers aren’t telling, I guess. Per here, a recognizable part of the song’s melody goes back to at least 1937, including links to examples. (You might not want to stare too long at the Moon Mullican video.) One of my favorite versions, by The Davis Sisters in about late 1952, is here.
