Dick Spottswood, who does a radio show on Sundays on WAMU FM in Washington DC (although he now lives in Florida) was able to recite the published lyrics of Airy Man Blues on his show once a couple of years ago. I can not tell you his source, but he could. He can be contacted at dick@wamu.org, but I suggest that you learn about him and his show by seeing wamu.org before contacting him. You could then easily learn those lyrics.
