Music and lyrics by Nathaniel Shilkret and Gene Austin. So, that'd explain why it was absent from the stage production.

Though he doesn't cite lyrics, that Harold says it's his favorite song (from Showboat? or all-time?) makes it worth including, I should think. http://www.jazz-on-line.com/ has several versions of “The Lonesome Road” as well.

Can't find a playbill for it, though :( Oh, and the Muny did Show Boat in 1934, so that’s quite likely where he saw it. Can’t find a playbill for it, though :(

Check the Cat for Bud Freeman's 1928 version. You probably have a copy of “Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man” (well, I know you have Björk doing it). Check the Cat for Bud Freeman’s 1928 version.

"Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man," <i>Show Boat</i>. 1927. It's all bunk, though. You can't cite a non-specific instance of something. [3] I reckon this might do it:
