"Hold On, I'm Coming"

Misheard Lyrics:

Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me when time commands
When the day comes and you're down
In a river of trouble
And I'm not tootin' around.

Original Lyrics:

Don't you ever be sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're down
In a river of trouble
And about to drown.

I was educated at Woodstock.

Editor's note: Someone mentioned that this song was released two years before the Woodstock festival (which is correct), but this line obviously does not refer to that. It refers to something totally different and unrelated.
