Story about this misheard lyric by: Dan Fletcher

The first time I heard this song was on a CD in a car with my three year old son, driving through Saint Louis. The second I misheard this lyric, there was a guy passing me driving a station wagon, with (you guessed it) a refrigerator, tied to the top of his car. I thought this was a thing in Missouri, between the song, and seeing the guy, at the same time, in Missouri!

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"Many A New Day"

The Lyrics:

Why should a woman who is healthy and strong
Blubber like a baby if her man goes away,
A-weapin' and a-wailin' how he's done her wrong?
That's one thing you'll never hear me say.

Why:

The pronoun "That" in the last line cited above needs an antecedent. And since it says "That's one thing you'll never hear me say", that antecedent needs to be an actual quote of what one will never hear her say, or at least something that pretty nearly implies a quote of something specific that she's saying one will never hear her say. But the nearest thing to an atecedent is "A-weapin' and a-wailin' how he's done her wrong", and that is rather too vague to provide an explicit or implied quote to serve as the needed antecedent.

"Kansas City"

The Lyrics:

I got to Kansas City on a Frid'y By Sattidy I larned a thing or two For up to then I didn't have an idy Of whut the modren world was comin' to!

Why:

In the musical "Oklahoma!" (written and originally performed on Broadway in 1943 by Rodgers and Hammerstein), the character of Will sings this song about "Kansas City" in a chorus setting about how "Kansas City has gone about as far as they can go." (A later great and funny line in the song -- here is posted the opening verse of the tune with the town of Kansas City).
