Hi,
I think I may have solved the mystery of the "Skinny Leg Blues" lyrics.
You are right that one of the verses comes from the Texas Alexander "Bo Hog Blues". I beliver he sings the following:
She got little bitty legs, gee but them noble thighs (2)
She got something on a yonder, works like a boar hogs eye

Geeshie Wiley's verse:
I got little bitty legs, gee but these noble thighs (2)
I got something underneath and it works like a boar hogs eye

Weird stuff but that's what it sounds like.
Check it out.

: Julien,
: You may be correct on the meaning of
: "skinny leg blues". Here are
: alternate lyrics to one verse I found that
: are corroborated by similar lyrics from
: another song. They have the same sexual
: implications as you had guessed. The page
: linked explains "bo(ar) hog's eye"
: as a reference to female genitals, although
: it is not decidedly certain (according to
