Who wrote Highway 51 blues?

I love this song because Ive felt this way on many occasions
it was written in 1906 Naples Texas do you know who wrote it

It wasnt John Lee Hooker the song was written way before his time read the detail in the question

Curtis Jones first recorded it in 1938 for Vocalion. Highway 51 was the road of the big southern migration. "I beg you, if I die before my time, don't bury my body along Highway 51."
Memphis Slim & Bob Dylan had outstanding versions

I thought it was Bob Dylan in 1962

Curtis Jones wrote it. It's been covered by everyone from Dylan to Jazz Gillum.
