TIL for me, as well. After listening to Lonesome Fiddle Blues on YouTube, I realized I'd heard it before. It's in David Hoffman's 1965 documentary about Appalachian mountain music and step dancing, a band of old-timers is playing it while a couple teens from a traveling dance troupe are warming up: https://youtu.be/kgHgLgR9WNc?t=1613

I don't know if you linked the wrong time stamp, but that's not lonesome fiddle blues. That sounds more like paddy on the turnpike or something similar.
