Aloha John,
Here's the one I've been working on. Maybe it's just wrong.
At the very least, it’s lazy and unclear engraving.
The convention in a case like this is something closer to the following:
\version "2.25.10"
global = {
\time 4/4
\key b \major
\tempo 4=80
}
mel = \relative c' {
\global
r4 << \context Voice = "melody" { \voiceOne s8 fis8 } \\ \new
CueVoice { \voiceTwo fis8[ 8] } >> \oneVoice fis[ gis ais b] |
gis4 dis8[ ais'~] ais4 r4 |
}
lyrA = \lyricmode {
and though they did hurt me so bad __

lyrB = \lyricmode {
\tweak self-alignment-X #0.75 "but it's" writ -- ten in the star --
light __ _
and ev' -- ry line on your
}
0
\score {
\layout { indent = 0 ragged-right = ##f }
<<
\new Staff \new Voice = "melody" << \global \mel >>
\addlyrics \lyrA
\addlyrics \lyrB
>>
}

Kieren.
