One eminently sensible lyric change springs to mind. I heard it first from a Thornhill [Dumfrieshire] fella at Girvan festival some years ago. The song was "Tramps and Hawkers". Usual lyric---"I canna raise the wind" The lyric as altered-- "I think I'll go tae Paddy's land, I'm makin' up my Mind, for Scotland's fairly altered noo, and the blaw is hard tae find" I adopted that alteration. [Sorry Thornhill guy, I can't recall your name----] The Corries, by the way, regularly altered traditional lyrics if they thought it "improved" the song; sometimes, in fact, they took diabolical liberties!
