How right you are! I live in Minneapolis, Mn., USA so I'll write it out for you. This is from "An Evening with the Kingston Trio/Deluxe Souvenir Vocal Album No.11, Hansen Publications Inc. I've had the book since mid 60's and I'm sure it's not around anymore. Anyway, all of the verses are spoken and the chorus is sung. If slash / equals one measure the background played during the spoken parts is as follows:

D// G/ D/ G/ D/ A7/ D// (repeat)

I'll continue with the chorus and words on another thread.
