Shakey Jake Harris cut a Roll Your Moneymaker for Cobra in '58 with his nephew Magic Sam on guitar. That's no original, merely inspiration, and so was Mississippi John Hurt's guitar in his Okeh recording of Got The Blues Can't Be Satisfied.
Covers:
Shakey Jake [as Save Your Money Baby]
Hound Dog Taylor [as Roll Your Moneymaker]
George Thorogood [an Elmo regular (see: The Sky Is Crying, Can't Stop Loving, Hawaiian Boogie and Madison Blues)]
Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes [The Black Crowes' first album was named Shake Your Money Maker but the song was not on it]
Rodney Crowell [on Elmore James tribute]
