How do you create lyrics for brief alternative notes, existing in repeated 
sections (when there are not enough notes to justify duplicating the entire 
section)? Here is a demonstration picture of what I am trying to do:

The red is what I can't figure, either with or without a second-verse of 
lyrics. I cannot seem to add anything else without causing a problem. Below is 
the lilypond code for the above image.Thank you for any advice.

(I am new to LilyPond, but I'm a programmer and have an excellent first 
impression--and I was going to spend 90 bucks, when this is free??!!)

\relative c'' {

    \repeat volta 2 {  c4 b a g  }
    \repeat volta 2 {  f4 e d c  }
    \repeat volta 2 {  c'4 b a <<
        \override Stem #'direction = #UP
           {  g4  }
        \\
        \teeny
       \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1.7
        \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN
        \override Stem #'length = #4
           {  g16 a g8  }
    >>}
    \repeat volta 2 {  c,4 e <<
        \override Stem #'direction = #UP
           {  g4 c4  }
        \\
        \teeny
       \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1.7
        \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN

    >>}
}
