Normally, speaking of a third inversion implies a seventh, which would be the Bb in your example. This matches the notation C/Bb. The notation V(4-2)/IV, combining Roman numerals with figured bass, represents the same thing. The third inversion seventh figuring 642 is conventionally reduced to 42. | |

I found the first page of some sheet music for this song with Google, and there is no justification there for vi7. Mind you, vi7 could be played, I just haven't heard a version yet that does that. | |
