Couldn't decide whether to post this or not, it is a pretty used up record, but the song is good.  Grey Gull records were of low quality when they were made and just about all of them were played to death and this one is no exception.  

I always thought the bum songs were a result of the Great Depression of 1929 but it seems most of the bum songs were recorded many years prior to that.  Anyway, sorry about the poor recording.  If you listen closely, you can just hear the guitar in the background.
