Bob didn't eliminate a verse, it seems, he just changed the third line of the third verse.

Also, Bob gives the first two verses as referring to "my heart and hand" and "the love I bear," whereas Art's version (which
he transcribed from a Dodi Kallick cassette) has "my own true heart" and "my heart and hand," as Kathy (who learned
it from her mom) recorded it.
