Having been raised near Buffalo, I have a vintage unedited Canadian copy - the lyrics are as rumored.
I got the Canadian edition in Toronto in the summer of 1974 to replace the US GHS that I trashed by playing it so much. GHS was the first "current" Stones LP I got as a kid (I already had Hot Rocks and Ya-Yas), and thanks to Angie gotten the month it came out. That early US copy was overdubbed - including the final line about the groupie snagging "John Wayne before he dies."
Off-topic, the next Stones record I got, More Hot Rocks, made me understand the Stones better, because I was able to connect the lush instrumentation on side two of GHS to the textures Brian Jones put into the "fazed cookies" that didn't make Hot Rocks. That was Brian's legacy filtering into Mick's tastes.
