Jeramiah, I did the same thing! Messed up the words royally in "the Maid of Amsterdam", a capstan shantey. I was singing in the shantey bellering contest, no mike. So indeed, I sang out as loud as I could. But in one of the last verses, the words are "she placed her hand upon my chest, we did the dance she does the best". Oh my heavens, I sang "I placed my hand upon her chest, we did the dance, she was the best". I still blush to think about it. The song being a sea shantey, no one thought a thing about it. But oh my, it embarasses me to think about it now!
