Here are most of the Skillet Licker lyrics - I cannot decipher the second line of the fourth stanza. Any ideas? I have omitted spoken comments.

IDA RED

Ida Red, Ida Red
I'm goin' crazy 'bout Ida Red

Ida Red, Ida Blue
I'm goin' crazy 'bout Ida too

If I'd have listened to what she said
I'd been livin' with Ida Red

Ida Red, Ida Blue
I'd a-been a ? ? ?

Ida Red, Ida Red
Can't get a letter from Ida Red

Bought me a horse, gonna make me a sled
Gonna ride around with Ida Red

If I'd have listened to what she said
I'd been livin' with Ida Red

Put on the skillet, put on the lid
Gonna cook a hoecake for Ida Red
