The vinyl Whistle of the Jay has a booklet of lyrics. The lyrics given there differ in a few very small ways from what Joe has posted as "DT Correction":

1st stanza, line 4 does begin with "And"

3rd stanza, line 3 "I've" instead of "I"

5th stanza, 3rd line "the" instead of "me"

Last stanza, line 1 "that's" instead of "that"

Listening to the recording, it seems to me that in the 4th verse both the 1st and 3rd lines start with "I", not "I've". Also, he drops a lot of "g" in the chorus; "movin'", "windin'", "rollin'", "changin'".
