I took the words from the version that Peter, Paul, & Mary did at the tribute concert for Harold Leventhal and added a couple of lines and intend to do a cover if I can find the right musicians. I want to use someone who is great with the piano. If you have any suggestions or additions, I'd be glad to consider them.
