I can't stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain't music, it's close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music - Billie Holiday, 1915-1959

That's Mance Lipscomb's 'Cried All Night' - no guitar at hand, but that signature riff is an E riff, so I'd say key of E, standard tuning, although he may be up or down in the pitch maybe a half step.
