[78-L] The "F" word in popular music

Listening to the 1938 recording on Bluebird, Bb 7685, of Willie Farmer and
his Orchestra's, "Old Man Mose." It's not the first time I've heard the
tuneful chant of the F-word, nor probably the last. But wonder what was the
first record to sneak in a chorus of "F***-Its" onto wax?

Like some other times I've heard it, it begins with the word bucket, and
quickly moves straight to the main stage.

Any earlier sing alongs over the years - any before 1938?
