Excellent list & 'tis the first one I found here on Wordie! As a similar topic, I just put together a Joanna Newsom list. J'adore mica-spangled errata.

may I suggest "tamarack," mentioned in "Eli the Barrowboy"? it's a kind of tree. :)

"Crudely abused on some Hessian's joy ride" is what I've always thought it was, as in "The Sale of the Hessians", but various sites say headshow, heshner's, or hescher's, the last of which is most common. I can't figure out what it means, but it is still a great song.

Tremendous! This list made my evening, and I'm playing "The Apology Song" right now in salute. Which, btw, has a word in the last verse I've never been able to figure out. I think it's "hescher", which is in the Urban Dictionary, but nowhere else, as far as I can tell. If anyone has any info, please enlighten.
