In their new land, some of the lyrics were updated, you know, to refer the new locations and the occupations that settlers had in America.

Okay. And was that some sort of banjo I saw on stage during the performance?

Did you know that banjos are of African-American origin and that settlers in Appalachia adopted banjos for their folk music?
