The tune to Kingdom Coming ranks among my favorites. J.E. Mainer recorded a version, called New Kingdom Coming, that updates the language a bit referring to captain and feller and replacing yankees with revenuers. I suppose the words could be tweaked a bit more to make it more acceptable with modern audiences. I don't question, at all, that there is a place and time for historically accurate songs. However, sometimes there are songs that are so good that they warrant lyric changes to make them more acceptable to wider audiences. I, personally, enjoy the humor and spirit of the Mainer version. The Sons of the Pioneers also recorded the piece with the original Henry Clay Work lyrics.
