It only repeats 3 times, it's just twice as long as you thought it was. What key is it in?

He's basically doing the LW thing from LW's original version damned near note for note.

To groyster:
Its in key of A and he uses a D diatonic in 2nd (as most here probably already know as they yawn at my "revelation")
The fun thing you will find with this song, if you do it on stage, is if you use the wrap up he does...you can build up a "tribal ritual" with that ending and have the crowd going crazy! You definitely want to go on break after you lay this on 'em.
Just be straight up and say something to the effect of..."a little Rod Piazza ending on that old standard". (the majority of the crowd won't know what you're talking about), but if any members of the "Harmonica Police" are present, they will be put in their place before they even start.
Rod told me long ago he didn't care how much of his material I used as long as I gave him credit for it off the stage...has worked well for me.
Enjoy...
