I totally agree, Jim. I've listened to it lots of times on Youtube, and it can only be c***! I'm not offended at all myself by the word, it just sounds so, well, direct! As you say, it must have been less rude in the West Indies in those days. I absolutely adore the song (and the singer, Roaring Lion) I've played it over and over, and it's stuck in my head now! You did ever so well to get all the words, very patient of you!
