Answer to Question 1

 4-line quatrain occurs within the first four measures of the usual twelve-bar blues stanza, one text line in each measure.

Answer to Question 2

 The quatrain is a b c d in which
a = I don't want to see Snook,
b = Not even Homesick James
c = The way my baby left me,
d = I really believe he's to blame.
 The refrain is A B in which
A = She got me walkin' all up and down the street
B = She left me for another man cause she wanted to be free.
