Please accept 'colly' for 'calling' as this was the original lyric before people changed it to 'calling'. Overall, great quiz though. I was surprised to get 100% after years of not remembering them all, and especially in mid-Spring.

Congratulations on remembering all the words, and thanks for the suggestion.

I have updated the instructions to clarify that the quiz taker’s goal is to provide all the modern lyrics to the song.

Exhaustive research into every version of lyrics ever published is beyond my ability with the resources that are readily available to me. You may find this post on the American Ornithological Society’s web site relevant and interesting.
