Mike Heron recorded two sets of his reworking of the song, several years apart, which had some significant differences in the lyric; one as Black Jack Davy (on I Looked Up; I forget the date as someone pinched my copy) and as Black Jack David on Earthspan (1972). I think the set Jon posted is the former; the latter omitted the "15 summers" verse at least.
