Yardbirds recorded this in '65, 9 years after Burnette, and 14 years after Bradshaw.
Original first verse is:
I caught a train, I met a dame
She was a hepster, and a real gone dame
She was pretty, from New York City
And we trucked on down that old fair lane
With a heave and a ho, well i just couldn't let her go
