Subject: RE: Are racist, but traditional, songs OK?
Singing about medieval incest as an interesting tragedy is one thing. Singing about Jews murdering innocent babes for their blood is another.

Particularly since, as Steeleye showed, you can change it to "lady gay" (or "fair" if you prefer) and lose absolutely nothing except the antisemitism.
