Ah, candlewick was commonplace in my childhood. I never did see an actual candlewick shirt, but it was easy to imagine, especially with those hippy Simon/Garfunkel types. (What I am finding marginally interesting now is that I definitely knew the song pre-S&G, not as a recorded song but as a song that we sang, almost certainly from songsheets; but either I just never remembered that verse or else the S&G version just overwrote the original lyric with what-I-heard. Or else in fact I never saw it written down and always misheard it from the get-go. Or my big sister misheard it and taught it to me, that's always possible. Or...)
