I remember hearing that version of the song as well at least a couple of times before on one of several different stations that play this type of music including this song. I think in at least one of them I heard them play the original version with the original ending line. It's interesting to realize how tolerances for these things have notably changed in such instances and places as time progressed from later decades.
