Sorry Shaneo - it wasn't the key. I think the use of all major chords doesn't suit the tune.
Just one thought, though. I've only just noticed the Irish connection, and you include a verse which was not sung, as far as I know, by Ewan MacColl. He did report that the song was collected in Ireland only months after it's first broadcast, with 2 verses added and the tune "Irished" - his word, not mine.
