During a recent shantysing with Liam Clancy and the Makem Brothers, in Stan Rogers' "Barrett's Privateers" a man near me (in blonde braids) clearly sang "I was told we'd screw the cheese for American gold . . ."
I did not mis-hear, he mis-spoke, but I suspect neither of us will hear the song correctly for some time.
