"What is I'm goin'" sounds right to me, Harry. I would suggest "fought" rather than "found" in the second verse despite his odd pronunciation, though.

Hi Harry, yes on record Walter Roland played in the keys of A, Bb, C, Eb, F and G.
That tracks definitely in A.

Hi Harry and Chris,
I think in that tagline to to the first verse, Walter Roland sings:
   (what is IT I'm goin' to do)
He squeezes in the "it" really quickly, but you can hear him come to a full stop on the "t" sound at the end of it an instant before he sings "I'm".
All best,
Johnm

I agree, Johnm, and wouldst point out, it is a common Shakespearean contraction.
