Re: quotation marks (double-quotes) in lyrics

Arggg! I tried:

  "``God"8 is8 "king'';"4

as well as:

  "\"God"8 is8 "king\";"4

neither of them print any quote marks. I end up with:

  God is king;

instead of this:

  "God is king;"

I'm using version 1.6.8 out of cygwin. Am I not doing
this right? Thanks for all the help.
