Shake That Thing by Mississippi John Hurt
Shake That Thing
This is the way he plays it in the later recordings (which is different from the early versions)
I'll leave figuring out how to repeat it to you :)

I bought my babe, big diamond ring, come right back home, caught her shakin' that thing
Baby, shake that thing, won't you shake that thing?
Well, I'm gettin' sick and tired of tellin' you to shake that thing
One, two, three, four, five, six, please don't leave me in this fix
Baby, shake that thing, won't you shake that thing?
Well, I'm gettin' sick and tired
Yes, I got something' called a wobblin' whip, I got the Elgin movement in my hip
Baby, shake that thing, won't you shake that thing?
Well, I'm gettin' sick and tired
