Relistening, it's definitely babe.
I can't remember if I said this before, but upon learning that Geeshie and LV are from Texas, my mind immediately went to Blind Lemon's "War Time Blues" as a possible musical relative of "Last Kind Words". Similar lyrical theme (mention of war) and melody. His use of a pivoted A minor is very similar to Geeshie's guitar lick. These are the only 2 blues song that I know of that use an A minor in that way. They're both tuned a half step below concert in the E position, so same key. I also believe it's Geeshie's only song that uses that 1/2 step lower tuning. Maybe even Lemon was inspired by Geeshie?
correction: Over To My House is also the same key
