What you laughin' at Charlie?

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me. Many years ago I had a double album, which was a compilation of acoustic blues. I lent this to someone, who I lost contact with, and I never got it back. Something which has happened to me far too often. Anyway, there was a track on the album which I have never been able to find since.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me who performed it, or preferably I would like to know if it is obtainable on any currently available CD.
I shall try to describe what I can remember of the track:
First there are some chords on a guitar (maybe a 12 string?) and then there is laughter and a dialog as follows:
What you laughing at Charlie?
Oh Im just laughing at you, how you trying to bar through that beat
I dont see anything funny in that, Im making it good and juicy. Thats the way people like it nowadays, with gravy running out
I cant remember what comes next, but further on, the dialog continues something like:
My gal she quit too last night
Your girl quit too. Whats the matter with you and her?'
Oh I guess its a case kinda like yours. Same dog bit you mustve snapped at me.
Further on it continues:
Think Ill sing me a little blues
Lets hear em
Then there is singing. The lyrics are something like:
Tell me tell me baby, honey whats the matter now
Tell me tell me baby, honey whats the matter now
Well you trying to quit me honey an' you dont know how.
I would be very grateful if anyone can identify this record.
Thank you.
