I just watched the barn scene from _Yidl_ where this song is sung.  In the
movie, Molly does sing "libes-lid" and "vi azoy ikh fil".

However, in her studio recording of this song, which is anthologized on
the record "Molly Picon At The Yiddish Theatre" (GRC 220 [1971]), Molly
sings "libe-lid" and "vi es nogt un tsit".

You're both right!

Gut shabes,
