OK: being a terminally incurable folkie, I know folk songs change with every singer - and this IS a folk song with bells and whistles. However, these usually take years, sometimes decades, to morph and twist....sometimes totally changing the meaning (The calssic being the American "Streets of Laredo" about a cowboy being shot, morphing from 'Pills of White Mercury' which recounts the death of a young man from V.D.), but simply dumbing down a song in case it offends folk years after it was written smacks of PC gone mad.
