.....because the original lyrics are the only ones I know, as the result of endless repetition to my ears as a child.

BTW: I really OD'd on Ken Burns movie about Lewis & Clark. Upon viewing it, such was my enjoyment and enthusiasm that I went out and purchased the music sound track to his film, as well as every other film on that topic that was then available, including The Journey Of Sacagawea (LOL).

Yes, Ken Burns would be welcome to dine at my table any time.
