COOL! Yes, those are the sort of "new" lyrics I was expecting to find. I thought it a little odd that most versions of the past took it the lyrics so literally. Then again, not too odd. I tend to take lyrics more literally when the song seems rare-ish, as if to 'preserve' what little is documented or whatever...or probably because the song is novel enough that the need for freshness isn't as strong...just random thoughts

Claire, I wonder if Dogwatch was tipped off to the song round about the time Richard Adrianowicz was also working it up out in SF, during the chantey sings or whatever.
