Thanks, AGP.  None of those folks and especially me could play it like Charley.   Alvin Youngblood Heart does a very good version.  

Thanks, Hedley.  No, sir.  I did not know that about the money slang.   Hunh.

Good job, John. I do love that guitar. Did you know a pony is cockney slang for £25?

Yep!, Pony Blues, recorded by quite a few famous well known artists, Charlie Patton, Son House, Canned Heat, Howlin' Wolf  etc..., and we can now add "Uncle John" to the list :-)
