I always was intrigued by this song, the bizare fragmentary lyrics, and the odd chord and beat change at the beginning of the second line.

Ebbie - I do wonder at your second verse:

I courted her for love but her love I didn't obtain
Do you think of any reason or right to complain

I remember it differently and what I remember seems to make more sense:

I courted her for love but her love I didn't obtain
Do you think I'VE any reason or right to complain
