Hi Stewie, (only 6 years later ... how's that for quick response?)
Some suggested changes:
Chorus: Been there once, I wouldn't go no mo'
That badly mixed up 4th verse is usually something like:
Jaybird sittin' on a hickory limb, He looked at me and I looked at him, Picked up a brickbat, hit him on the chin, Great Godamighty, don't you do that again.
My theory on the hash Uncle Dave makes of it is that the A&R man, or perhaps Uncle Dave himself, decided that divine reference was disrespectful and it caused Uncle Dave to lose track and mess up the verse. He was a pretty good improviser on the spot, but this one tied him in knots.
