Also, "ancor" should be written as "ancor'" because it too is a contraction (of "ancora").
Not that it makes much difference, but I'm also quite sure The Gaylords sing "... making a pair of shoes" at the beginning, not "make me a pair of shoes." Listen carefully to the YouTube video/audio and I think you'll agree." That also fits the story better (as told in the first verse).
