Hi guys

From time to time I sing 'Holmfirth Anthem' - a brilliant song in my humble opinion.

Trouble is, I'm not absolutely sure of the words. I've done a Digitrad search without success.

In particular:

Was it a 'sunny, summer's evening clear' when I walked abroad for pleasure?

?'The first evening thet e'er I beheld her
Was ever, ever, ever with the lass I adored' ?

.... We'd gone to Bradford for a curry one night and during the preceding pub crawl, sang this in an enormous smoke-stained Victorian pub, while the flamenco guitarist was having a rest. (There was virtually nobody else in the place). When we got to the bit about fighting he French and Spaniards, he got up and walked out!...

Anyway, back to the show: Can anyone put me straight?
