The trick of using \repeat fold is an undocumented feature that only works well in very simple examples. For example, if you try use the same trick also for separate lines of lyrics for soprano, tenor or bass, it will fail completely. Another problem is what you have noted.
Also, you have looked at an old example. It's better to start from the satb.ly template available at the on-line documentation for version 2.2.
A better solution is to use a separate Lyrics context for each
verse. Something like
altoWordsI = \lyrics{ .... }
altoWordsII = \lyrics{ .... }
altoWordsIII = \lyrics{ .... }...
score { \notes
\context StaffGroup <<
\context Lyrics = sopranos { s1 }
\context Staff = women <<
\context Voice = sopranos { \voiceOne \sopMusic }
\context Voice = altos { \voiceTwo \altoMusic }
>>
\context Lyrics = altosI { s1 }
\context Lyrics = altosII { s1 }
\context Lyrics = altosIII { s1 }
\context Lyrics = tenors { s1 }
\context Staff = men <<
\clef bass
\context Voice = tenors { \voiceOne \tenorMusic }
\context Voice = basses { \voiceTwo \bassMusic }
>>
\context Lyrics = basses { s1 }
\context Lyrics = sopranos \lyricsto sopranos \sopWords
\context Lyrics = altosI \lyricsto altos \altoWordsI
\context Lyrics = altosI \lyricsto altos \altoWordsII
\context Lyrics = altosI \lyricsto altos \altoWordsIII
\context Lyrics = tenors \lyricsto tenors \tenorWords
\context Lyrics = basses \lyricsto basses \bassWords

Thanks for the help.
I've got the multiple verses printing on separate lines now, but the second
and third verses are printed below the music, while the first verse is in
the middle. Suggestions for how to get all the verses in the same place?
Also, compiling is saying:
Interpreting music... /home/JamesMoore/lyrics/Fum.ly:21:21: warning: no one to print a repeat
brace:
\repeat fold 3 { }
I'm assuming that this error is just saying that there's not going to be a repeat bar printed for lyrics. That's normal, right?
