Hi, Mick - Yeah, it does look like I forgot the "relief" office verse since I transcribed the other "forgotten' versed, but you'll notice that I did make mention of it in my fine print and that it's included in the lyrics in the database. I've been thinking of getting around to transcribing the whole thing from Woody's handwritten lyrics, but transcribing takes away some of the power from seeing it in Woody's own hand - Pete Seeger includes the handwritten lyrics in Where Have All the Flowers Gone.

Paul, I've found that Messrs. Fielding and Offer and Big Mick often have a similar philosophy, and we all believe in changing lyrics to fit the situation, and we all have changed this song and have added lyrics. However, I think the issue here is that Mr. Fielding and I find the "Canadian chorus" to be "sappy" (and, when sung by singers from the U.S., "patronizing.") I'll betcha Big Mick would agree. (grin)
That's our opinion, and we're entitled to attempt to foist it on others......
