  60 <p>*) Dylan's lyrics are inaudible (to me anyway). The Grateful Dead's
  61 version goes:</p>
  62
  63 <pre class="verse">
  64 &ldquo;Well, a couple shots of whiskey, women round here start looking good<br />
  65  Well, a couple shots of whiskey, women round here start looking good<br />
  66  A couple more shots of whiskey, I'm going down to Minglewood&rdquo;
  67 </pre>
  68 <p>**) Dylan sings something else &ndash; probably intending to sing the same
  69 as in the last verse.
