A fresh voice.....very nice. I can go either way with the interpretations. Since the line is referring to a drunkard (see recent Massey Hall discussions), it makes sense either way.

I have commented numerous times about my admiration of Lightfoot's choice of words. Maybe someone will ask him about it at a future concert.
