Hi everybody, I'm new here and a GL fan since he broke onto the scene.

Anybody know why Peter Paul & Mary altered the lyrics in Early Morning Rain to "Stuck here on the grass, where the pavement never grows" from Gordon's original lyrics, "Stuck here on the grass, with a pain that ever grows"?
Elvis sang it to the PP&M lyrics also. Whats up with that?

Thanks, Craig
