There are two different second verses - The film version started to use version B - which I only ever seen done in an Austrailian production: They had to be different.
Sung by Peron: The choice was yours and no one elses. You can cry for a body in despair. Hang your head because she is no longer there to shine, to dazzle to betry. Or else or else you could be greatful. Once a flash and a fantasy of gold. That her stars did not allow her to grow old (to press) And I I will tell you what to say
Julie Covington also turned down the role for the stage, and it was given to Elaine Paige for the original London production. This made her an overnight sensation.
By the way, did I mention I'm an Evita afficianado? :)
@SockBoy65 Not to sound a little skeptical, but do you know the real background story behind this musical? I'm researching Evita right now and can debunk a few things in the musical that never happened in real life.
WOW... Is it possible to get the rights for a regional production to do the original full version of "Lament?"

Umm.... NO, version "B" was only used in the original London production and partially in the 1996 film adaptation.
