Whether or not that's the "original", I don't know, but it's on "The
Essential SonnyBoy", a 2 disc set. 
Another version is actually more interesting lyrically, but lacks the
"interaction" between Rice Miller and "the man".

Subject: [Harp-L] Cadillac Records Review 

So far, everything I heard about the film has been negative! Its a shame
because the Chess Brothers were so important in American Music and the Blues
in general. Both Leonard and Phil Chess were excentric Polish Jews whose
real lives alone could have made an interesting film.
I understand "Shakey" Walter Horton is totally ignored So is Sonny Boy II
Anyone have the origional version of "Little Village" Blues were he and
Leonard get into a shouting match.? 
Also I have read evey book and magazine written about the Chicago Blues
scene and I never heard of this crush between Etta James and Chess Sr.
Etta James gave an extensive in Living Blues and she said nothing. Actually
it was Johnny Otis who disvovered. He is the one who wrote "Roll with me
Henry" or "The Wallflower as it became known"
