(don't know if he'd see it that way, but I think I'd probably like it if a song became part of common currency like that)<br /><br />I have to say, to me it definitely has the sound of a modern song rather than a traditional one, both in the tune and the words, especially seeing as the rhythm kind of demands a kind of accompaniment (that's not a feature of a lot of traditional song).
