Hi ~nut,
(... I knew.) Thank you for explaining about the lyrics. I figured that italicized part was a formatting error, but didn't know if those other words were the way Pete Morton wrote them. It sounds like you have it on good authority. I've always heard the lyrics the way you have posted them, with the exception of:
You can crowd yourself with fears (Poozies say "crown").
I suppose either would fit, but "crowd" does seem better.
Unfortunately, I have not heard Eileen McGann sing this. What does she do with the last chord? (In one version I've heard, it is unresolved, in the other it is.) Thanks for all your help...
Mary
