You are aware that you don't _need_ to use \lyricsto or \addlyrics?
Just specify the duration you want in the text itself like

\new Lyrics \lyricsmode { "And there were"1 "shepherds in"2. the4 field. }

If you go "one lyric per bar", then you should just need the first 1 and
all the other strings will be of the same length automatically.
