Not to be confused with Bo Diddley's "Diddy Wah Diddy". This is the Blind Blake song from 1928. Covered in 1974 by Ry Cooder.
A quote from Mr. Cooder:
"Blind Blake is a great player, a great musical figure. In the years where he was on top, he was fabulous. Blind Blake just had a good touch. He played quietly, and he didn't hit the guitar too hard. He had a nice feeling for syncopation. He's from down there in the Geechie country, and all those people have a real nice roll to what they do. He was a hell of a good player, and he had a lick that was great. And Blind Blake played all over the place, with all kinds of people, including Johnny Dodds, which is just way too much for me."
And on video we have Frenk Van Meeteren.

That guy on the video sure knows how to get the most out of that little guitar.
