It is indeed "Let 'Er Go", by Fletcher Henderson. I only knew of Artie Shaw's instrumental version - didn't even know the song had lyrics.
But you're right, the lyrics are different than in the Larry Clinton version, which I assume is the original.

Yeah, I had only heard the Larry Clinton/Bea Wain version with lyrics. Thanks for the response.
