The fact that Shepard has listened to more versions of the song than Wanda's is evident, among other things, from the fact that she consistently sings "cannot mend" instead of "patch u" in the chorus. Dianne Sherrill's version also differs in several points from Wanda's, and like most other versions, there is a full chorus interlude after the first refrain, divided into a first half with steel and guitar and a second half with fiddle. Instead of Wanda's "pretend that I don't notice" she sings "hide my head in sorrow" in the penultimate line of the first verse, a change I have otherwise only noted with The Cowsills in 1970. The standard there is The Springfield's "hid my tears in sorrow". Sherrill has also changed the wording of the second verse significantly.
