AS far as I can tell, the first-posted lyric was not part of the original song, but was added (possibly by Johnny Long's band). It's in the same vein as "Down by the old (not the new, but the old) mill stream( not the river but the stream)..." or "Direct me to the route to my abode, I'm fatigued and I desire to retire..."
