It's just that I've always wondered.

In the third version given in Alan and John Lomax's Carols of the Southern Plains, he did. Version two of that is a campmeeting spiritual, set to a related tune, and the first version given is incoherent, borrowning stanzas from Lord Bateman, and Sweetly Sings the Donkey, among others. In the Oxford Book of Carols, he did not, but what he did do was pleasantly surprising.

Yup, he torched the place, isn't it good... etc... etc.
But, take in to account that the original line was... "... so, I lit a fire, isn't it good knowing she would?" This would suggest he was about to engage in 'num nums'.
John was encouraged to change the line as it was a little too racey for the times.

The Wikipedia article on Norwegian Wood has a decent discussion of this topic.

Wow, nice link. I never knew about the back-and-forth between Lennon and Dylan regarding this song. IF you follow the link for Dylan's tune, "4th Time Around", it explains the meaning behind some of the words. Interesting - Dylan was a little put-off by Norwegian Wood. Isn't imitation supposed to be the highest form of flattery?jsluder wrote:The Wikipedia article on Norwegian Wood has a decent discussion of this topic.
And hey, if Maxwell could kill all those people, this guy could burn down her flat...
