Right. It makes no sense when it is song lyrics, and the word sung is six, not the three they have. It only makes sense if you're citing an error in the printed lyrics, but if you're offering the lyrics, you should just have the right word.

The song is Lime Street Blues, and I was trying to get lyrics just to fill in the data.
