I'm sure they didn't want to use a homophobic slur. Also they are folk musicians, and the folk tradition embellishes and changes the words all the time.
@@blakebennett5358 wow, really, homophobic slur, lol. It was written that way for a reason and should be left that way. If it can’t be performed in its original format, it shouldn’t be performed at all. Purely out of respect it should be the original version, without the PC woke nonsense destroying the song. Thanks for replying, but it’s obviously something we’ll never agree on
@@DoubleZeroGarage Agree, great lyrics do not have to be politically corrected. Besides 'old slut on junk' is left untouched according to the new double standards...
@DoubleZeroGarage imagine being more upset about changing a simple word of a song to not offend people, than you are about homophobia and hatred people have to live through just for being who they are. Its a word, it's really not that important
Thank you Liza and John, missed this last year but enjoyed it muchly today - a tear in the eye for Shane and Kirsty though

Oh dear
Such a shame that it’s been ruined by changing the lyrics. This song should be left original, the way it’s meant to be !
