An interesting thing about this song is that not only did Ian Tyson "clean it up" by removing the reference to the inter-racial relationship, but he reversed a statement in the last verse. He sang "left my heart and lost her own", which makes no sense at all. The line should be "left her heart and lost my own". Since Ian did the song in the early sixty's, just about everyone else who's done it has repeated his mistake.
