Peter, if there's anything you need explained, let us know. The Digital Tradition version above has some lyrics that just done't make sense, likeBrian Hoskin posted a version above that makes much more sense. In the version he posted, the line is Much better, indeed. "Hoe" makes sense. The subjunctive "weren't" is grammatically correct, but I can't imagine Woody using a subjunctive...
