Getting back to this fascinating thread, since I'm learning the song:

JAB-could you please send me the uncensored lyrics to Hogyeye Man you got from the newsgroup you mentioned? (I couldn't figure out how to send you this message privately, but I'm hoping you can figure out how to send one to me!)

Matthew--How did you learn that later singers had replaced 'navvy' with the racist epithet beginning with 'n'?
