Answer to Question 1
If you count the first stanza very carefully from the first syllable of the word Ko-ko- mo me ba-by to exactly when the same syllable occurs again at the beginning of the second stanza, you will notice that the stanza seems to be 15-measures-plus-two-extra-beats long This is because McDowell stretches out the usual twelve-bar blues stanza by adding a few measures. Then he actually adds two beats to the first measure of the second stanza on the word Well. The second stanza thus starts out with a measure of six rather than the usual four beats per measure.
Adding a few extra beatsor even entire measuresto the usual twelve-bar stanzas was typical of the earlier rural (or downhome) blues that we hear exemplified in McDowell's rural Mississippi juke-joint guitar style. Notice that the stretching-out of the blues stanzas does not in any way interfere with the hypnotic dance groove provided by McDowell's guitar playing.
Answer to Question 2
lovers and mistreatment
The mistreated party gets out of the situation with a parting, ironic comment
The typical blues theme of lovers and mistreatment is found in She Got Me Walkin,' but not in Poor Boy Blues which deals with poverty/illiteracy.
Blues music in African-American culture helps lovers understand each other. . . .the themes are traditional and shared by the community, blues songs also give listeners community approval for separation in response to mistreatment (WOM, p. 131).
