For those for whom English is a second language or aren't familiar with the songs, here are the lyrics to the two George/Dylan songs.

For 'I Threw It All Away' George could only remember one verse and the bridge, and la-la'd or repeated the rest:

I once held her
In my arms
She said she would
Always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away
I threw it all away

Love is all you need
You know it makes the world go ’round
Love it can’t be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just can't do without it
Take a tip from somebody who’s tried


These are the rest of the lyrics he didn't sing:

Once I had mountains
In the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through
Every day
But I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away

So if you find someone
Who gives you all of her love
Take it to your heart, don’t let it stray
For one thing for certain
You will surely be a-hurtin'
If you throw it all away
If you throw it all away


And he remembered a fair slice of the lyrics to 'Mama You've Been On My Mind' (although since he had learnt it from Dylan himself some of the lyrics are different to the "offical" lyrics):

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Mama you're just on my mind

I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I'm not calling for you to go
I'm just thinking to myself pretending nowt that I don't know
Mama you're just on my mind

When you wake up in the morning, baby look inside your mirror
I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
[forgets words] that I don't know
Mama you're just on my mind

[forgets words]
the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Mama you're just on my mind

"Yes It Is" could be a nice one. The low voice takes of "One Day At A Time" from Mind Games too; so could be "You Are Here".
