Where am I able to find Nine Inch Nails' original version of "Marrying the Gunner's Daughter"?

I can only ever seem to find Adam Ant's cover of the song, but I can't seem to find NIN's original version anywhere anymore. For reasons I can't seem to find, it seems some later reissue of The Downward Spiral replaced Marrying The Gunner's Daughter with a song called Piggy, well the version of the album I had, anyway, had MTGD. Don't know where Piggy came from. Can anyone tell me why they replaced it and why I can't find the original now, and, if so, where I can find it?

I was kind of intrigued about this, but I can't find any evidence that Nine Inch Nails ever wrote or performed the song, or that anything but "Piggy" appeared as track 3 on The Downward Spiral. Wikipedia doesn't mention anyone connected to Nine Inch Nails having a hand in writing the song, and none of the versions listed on discogs mention the song. Googling "Marrying the Gunner's Daughter Nine Inch Nails" did lead me to an amateur review blog that compared the production on the Adam Ant recording to NIN but that's about it. Possibly someone just put it up online somewhere as a Misattributed Song?
