Finding this thread in connexion with looking at this song again because of the fine recording of it by Martin Simpson on Kind Letters, I am disappointed to read the note from Abby Sale (17 March 2004).

Abby refers to my admittedly ridiculous mistranscription of one line ("horse" instead of "whore"), but he didn't tell me of my mistake so that I could correct it - and it's been there for five years now.
