Joe,

The lyrics you have posted are from Donovan's original recording. In later versions, he sometimes inverted the order of verses two and three (or omitted the "green" verse entirely), and/or repeated the first verse at the end. These can all be found on YouTube.

But, for a truly bizarre lyric change, listen to this version done live in 1972.

Don't think I'll be doing that version any time soon!
