Hi, Jenny-
I posted the lyrics from the John McCutcheon Website, so one would think they would be correct - but they aren't. I'm surprised that the McCutcheon Website would have such a sloppy transcription. I'm glad you caught the problem and corrected it.

I'm still kicking myself for not taking the time to visit the Brown's Head Light

I completed my 10-year Atlantic Coast Lighthouse Tour in 2000*, long before I got a digital camera. Maybe I should do it all over again. I visited almost all the mainland lights on the Atlantic Coast from Halifax to Key West, but I missed a number of island lights, like Brown's Head.

*I drove the coast two weeks every year for ten years, stopping at every lighthouse I could find. The last year, 2000, I was retired and took 6 weeks for my travels.
