I'm not sure if they are precisely the same, but Mance Lipscomb plays a version based on lemons which is much easier to make out the lyrics on. According to Stefan Grossman, Lipscomb learned the song from a Lemon record. Perhaps he had the advantage of learning the song from a brand spankin new record?
The version I saw is on Stefan's 'Bottleneck Blues Guitar' video:

It's great to see Mance play this tune, and although he does not play the guitar part exactly the same, the Lemon spirit is there.
Best of luck,
Michael
