JIMMY RICKS - DADDY ROLLIN STONE

Derek Martin is the original, though...
Hank, you are a man after my own heart.
Dear me, that was good!
Thanks, Hank -
probably easier to find than the Derek Martin version... it's on the Atco label...
HBH, You're the Boss!!

The Who version is probably based on Derek Martin's, though. It's on some playlists from The Scene or some other cub of that time...
It seems the Jimmy Ricks version is older than the Derek Martin one, and Derek was singing with Jimmy Ricks & the Raves at that time....
Jimmy Ricks & The Raves (Members Jimmy Ricks, Leonard Puzey, Howard Guyten And Derek Martin):
Atco 6220 - Daddy Rolling Stone / Homesick – 1962
Festival 25004 - Daddy Rolling Stone / Um Gowa (The African Twist) – 1962

Is that the local label version you saw, L_P?
Here's a little bit about the Derek Martin version on Crackerjack... It also mentions Otis Blackwell's original on Joe Davis recordings and a few other cover versions...

Festival! That's it.
Continuing on the 'Daddy Rolling Stone' lineage, how about Oz & The Sperlings local-fied Bay Area version on Galaxy ("He got out of his car at Mc-Al--ster and Fill-More.") from 1966...
