If I understand your comment, 
 It is played as: A , A1, A , A2, A , A3, A , A4, A , A5/End 
where endings 1 and 3 are the same and you don't want to retype the notes,
then the repeats go all the way back to the start of the 'A' part,
and you can use the usual \repeat \alternative input, and change
just the labels on the voltas

\score { \relative c'' {
  \time 6/8
  \partial 8 a16 b
  \repeat volta 5 {
    c 4   c8       c   d   e   
    d 8   b  g     g   a   b
  } \alternative {
    {
      \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1,3") )
      c 8   a  a     a   b   c   
      b 8   e, e     e4      a16 b
    } { 
      \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "2") end-repeat)
      c 8   b  a     b4      g8
      a4       a8    a4      a16 b
    } {
      c8    b  a     b4       g8
      a4       a8    a8   e'  f 
    } { a,4 a8 }} a4.\fermata \bar "|."
  }
}
