It's also possible that they were lyrics sung by cotton pickers who often made up their own lyrics to popular songs as well. BB worked on a cotton plantation until he found that he could make more money playing the guitar.

I wouldn't be surprised if what you say above is true.......especially if that's his pattern (making up extra verses, etc.)........it actually did cross my mind. I have no idea who BB King is.......it just was the first set of lyrics that popped up when I typed the song into the search engine.
Since he did work on a cotton plantation.......all the more plausible that he made up the extra lyrics to pass the time away..........during his long day of work.
