Yes of course many in fact all traditional songs are just that old and reflect current attitudes of the time ~ words and feelings of society in relation to black white, racism and standing in society were expressed in songs To start to change the song lyrics will lose the true worth of those songs ~ it did cross my mind that song sessions of shanties might need to have a warning regarding non Pc shanties could be given ~ however surely this must be clear to all those present ~ who knows! The world and attitudes of 50 to 250 years were there and new attitudes are just that ~ NEW # we cannot undo the past ~ songs made must retain their lyics BTW just seen a song on this thread that would be meaning less outside of Yorkshire ~clearly a reference to Local tv in HULL ~ and East Riding of Yorkshire ~ Peter Levy isn't known all over Yorkshire!
