Pearl Jam's, "Yellow Ledbetter"

Misheard Lyrics:

By the seaside with some pork Ledbetter sat
And he said I want to eat it again.
By the wayside on the frontside of the lawn
And he said I wanna eat it all again, yeah...

Original Lyrics:

Unsealed, on the porch a letter sat
Then you said. 'I wanna leave it again'
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah...
