I was looking for lyrics to Pony Blues and came across a verse in a version by David "Honeyboy" Edwards that goes:
Buy me a yellow hen, already dressed
Lord I'm gonna buy a yelly, Baby already dressed
Buy me a yellow hen, Baby already dressed
Now it seems to me that the last line should have been different, and I get the feeling that Honeyboy just forgot the last line and repeated the first. I haven't seen anything like this verse in any other versions of this song and I was wondering if anyone knows what the last line should have been.
