I'd also have to add to this one...

Unless you have original sheet published by the original author, or unless you are submitting "Version as recorded by xxxx", then who really is to say that it's incorrect?

I always like to think of the "Digital Tradition" as the continuation of the original "Oral Tradition". People from all over the world, hearing songs they've enjoyed, and giving them to the DT for inclusion so that others may enjoy them as well. As with any such passing of lyrics, changes are introduced.

Now, for attributed lyrics, there is ground for correction as to variations from original lyrics that aren't labeled as such, or from other causes like the misattribution of authorship that started this thread.

But, if you see a traditional song that includes a lyric you don't recognize as 'correct', chances are that whomever posted that song would have a difference of opinion with you over that point.

That out of the way, let me add my voice to the cheers for the work Dick, Susan, Joe and everyone else involved with the DT. Warts and all, it's a wonderful damn resource. Thanks to anyone who contributes to it - it's a joy to paw through.
