But Martin does raise a good point about tremolo.
I was thinking of bending the e to emulate all those "oo-oo-oo-oo" things
the vocal lines do, but either way would work.

I tried the song on a Low-F country-tuned harmonica, like Brad suggested and
it worked great.

I got the Low-F country-tuned harp, by taking a Lee Oskar Low-F major
(richter-tuned) and a Lee Oskar C Melody Maker and swapped one of the
reed-plates, giving you a Low F country-tuned (top of the major, bottom
plate of the MM) and a Low F paddy-richter tuned (top of the MM, bottom of
the major).

Well technically its not a "true" country-tuned because the 9 draw is also
raised a 1/2 step (5 draw is also raised a 1/2 step).  I beleive this is
better known as the Smo-Joe country-tuning.
