A Donovan favorite...Marianne style! I am a huge fan of both Donovan & Marianne and like both versions of this song as well as Judy Collins' version as well.

@wtw88 Well you certainly took the mickey out of me!! Thanks for explaining. I am glad that you had Stookey's song at your wedding. Some people miss its strength because it is quiet and not seemingly complex. So what the heck is an eating scene? Or is that what happens after someone shakes the chocolate machine???

@DancesWithJoy Hi there.

I'm sorry to admit I was just messing around. Baracine gave me the impression that he's a stuffy, self-important twit so I rambled on (with one or two beers in me). I had friends with me and it got a bit out of hand. You're obviously a good researcher. I got desperate and changed words. Marianne's pronunciation of "eating" was an opportunity for chaos. I noted your appreciation of "Wedding" by Stookey. It was sung at my wedding. See my comment on the page. Cheers. Bill.

@wtw88 I looked up 'ead' and could only find weird stuff about 'employee authorization documention' and computor code and software which of course did not exist when Donovan wrote the song. I am more confused than ever.

@wtw88 Thank you for sharing that it is ead ing and not eat ing . I did not know about ead and eating never made sense.

@baracine With all due respect, personally I think that anyone throwing around the words 'uneducated, misinformed and in bad faith needs' to be very careful that he/she is not saying things that qualify as that in the same post. People who practice the Wiccan religion are not biker lesbians as a whole nor all women and Wicca and Neo-Paganism are not cults but rather religions.

Thank you for sharing that 'coloured goddess' may refer to a female blues singer of colour. That is interesting.

Personally, having owned it by Donovan from the time it was released, the line was, I thought-

"smearing their eyes on the crazy cult goddess" which is apt since there is a famous cult in India with Kali as their reference point...but that's just me...

its amazing to me Judy Collins' version isnt uploaded yet. It is by far the best and most powerful version.

It's quite possible that the words are indeed "crazy Kali goddess." Donovan mentions Kali in his autobiography several times . . . he seems to have harbored somewhat of a fixation for her. Anyway, if it troubles you that much, why don't you track down the man himself and ask him, instead of pouring your outrage into YouTube comments?
