Cool, Carl!
I've been trying to put together a compilation with original versions of WAGFTRS tunes. I've not been able to locate them all. This helps!
To add to your list:
"Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down" by Uncle Tupelo

The version of "Keep Your Lamps" we referenced was Hot Tuna referencing Rev. Gary Davis, not the Blind Willie strain ~~

It's got to take a special kind of talent to be able to sing with a cigar in your mouth without it falling out. I'd probably accidentally spit it across the room and poke someone's eye out.

I suppose that, if you aimed carefully enough, you could light either your pants or your guitar on fire.
Relax, folks--it's all part of the show.

First Pull Up Then Pull Down
FINALLY!!! omg THIS is the version I have looking for in vain for thirty years. We got ours from my memory of hearing it on FM radio in the early 70's. It isn't nearly as powerful sounding to me now as how I remember it coming across then -- our version sounds like my memory of this version in my head.
Good gawd their drummer sucked farts. That is why I could never really stand electric Hot Tuna back in the day, but I always liked the
idea of what they were doing more than the execution. This recording is a case in point -- it tries so hard to rock but the drummer is such a drag and everyone is soloing at once and the recording is so grating ..... ugh ..... but an "A" for effort for sure. I like ours
way better.
BTW, I have the feeling that as reportedly obnoxious as Rev. Gary Davis was, I am certain he spat that cigar across the room at more than one individual ~~
