Well, I checked it out, and the version in the Digital Tradition is indeed the incorrect set of lyrics posted by belter in 1997. Perhaps the harvester went through before the corrected lyrics and songwriter attribution were posted. We're working on ways to prevent that, but haven't achieved perfection.
I'm not home, so I can't see if I had submitted a correction. I sent a personal message to Jim Dixon and asked him to make sure a corrected version gets sent to Dick right away.
The best way to submit lyrics is to post them here at Mudcat. That way, other people have a chance to see what you posted and to correct your mistakes - BEFORE your mistakes get included in the Digital Tradition.

If you post a song and don't see ^^ harvesting birdies in a couple weeks, send a personal message or e-mail to Jim Dixon or me and we'll take care of it - I think this is probably better than contacting Dick and Susan, because they get swamped and harvesting is our job.
If I'm not satisfied with the information on a song, I sometimes bookmark the thread and get back to it later, hoping somebody had posted better information. I suppose we should develop a symbol to show that we're watching threads we haven't harvested. We're working on improving procedures but we ain't perfect yet. We've been adding hundreds of songs and tunes a year and we're working on a Windows version of the database, so I think we've accomplished a lot.

Sorry about the confusion about "Buttered Rum." I'm pretty sure it will be fixed in the next edition of the Digital Tradition.
