I'm not sure this should be described as a cover of George Bass and Nina Simone. Feist's lyrics are more similar to the original folk versions.
Notably absent from Simone's version is the bit about the rooster, which a thread at mudcat.org ( http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=33719 ) points out is a Biblical reference: Peter would deny Jesus 3 times before the rooster crows twice. And "sea lion" probably meant "she lyin".
Similarly, it might not be a coincidence that the "sea lion woman" that starts each verse sounds a lot like "see that woman".
