Well done, Guest and Dale. It is amazing how much clearer it becomes when someone works out what it is!
My remaining queries are:
I think it is much more likely to be 'coons' than 'goons'.
I still hear 'strange land' rather than 'great land'.
I am not completely happy about the second part of stanza 3, line 1 - 'go right to my door' - but I don't know what else it could be. The last word sounds more like 'soul' than 'door' to me.
