A friend of mine is trying to work out the words to the last verse of Grandpa Jones' version of "Old Dan Tucker." Can anyone help?

The verse in question goes:

Dan wronged his wife, and to make amends,
He built a coop, just to house their hens.
It had two doors, 'cause according to Dan,
If it had four,___________

Any thoughts or sources would be much appreciated. I've checked the DT and also Google as many ways as I can think of, to no avail. And my friend has put the CD track through every computer slow-downer that she can lay her hands on.

Thanks,
KateG

Oops, that should be "Grandpa" -- I'm reverting to childhood.

Dan wronged his wife and to make amends
He built a coop just to house her hens
It had two doors, 'cause according to Dan
If it had four, it'd be a chicken sedan

Get out of the way, Old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's over, dinner's cookin'
Old Dan Tucker's just a-standin' and a-lookin'
