Does it really have connections with slavery? I've always just thought of it as a gospel song, before it became a sporting anthem and a 'rugby song' with actions. Trad songs constantly change meaning and usage. I can't see anything offensive in the actual text. If this goes then you English are gonna have your Child Ballad corpus cut down drastically!
