Robert Johnson wasn't recorded by the Library of Congress. He only recorded twice, in San Antonio in 1936 and in Dallas in 1937, both times for Brunswick records. All the songs from those sessions are available on iTunes.
I don't know if Patton was recorded for the LoC either. This discography doesn't mention it.
The recordings that John Work and Allan Lomax made of Waters at Waters' house on the Stovall plantation for the LoC are also available on iTunes. One compilation is called "The Complete Plantation Recordings".

I'm not sure what all is there but you might be interested in the Youtube channel- Alan Lomax Archives. 356 videos.
