[The last verse is still very doubtful. Note: the transcription tries to reflect the singer's pronunciation as best as I can. Keep that in mind before editing or pointing out a mistake.]
[In the last verse and in one of the relevant footuntes, -oh- -arr, and -ma- indicate random elongations of words in the original.]
