I'm not sure if I have heard that particular song before but had no problems in understanding the words and found this version infinitely preferable to the one you posted. We are from slightly different generationsJim. As well as folk I was listening to heavy rock and prog rock when I was younger and I listen to a huge range of music now. I can therefore appreciate a wider range of approaches to folk song than you can. As I said best to agree to disagree rather than you trying to tell me that this version is invalid in some way
