The Tampa Kid was among the recording names of Charlie McCoy, brother of Joe McCoy who tape-recorded a lot with Memphis Minnie. Charlie was primarily understood for his excellent mandolin playing.
I came to understand the tune through Mike Dowling’s recordings. He tape-recorded two (slightly different) variations.
Here’s the Tampa Kid version
and Mike Dowling’s versions
cd variation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhj0-GGCed4
live variation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmV4SnLUfDc
I remain in open D tuning but with the capo on the second fret which results to open E tuning.
I’m playing my “Louisiana” model Delta Resonator made by John Alderson of the UK
