One solution seems to be:

NotesABC {
   \repeat volta 2 {
    c d e d f ...
    }

    c d e f f ...
}

\addlyrics {
   stanza 1
}

\addlyrics {
   stanza 2
}

\addlyrics {
   \skip 1 \skip 1 \skip 1 % (repeat as needed -- i.e., 77 \skips )
                           % \skip 1*77 didn't do it
   stanza 3
}

\score {
                \context Score <<
                        \context Staff <<
                                \new Voice = "bassNotesABC" \bassNotesABC
                        >>
%                       \lyricsto "bassNotesABC" \new Lyrics {
%                               \bassLyricsABC
%                       }
