Just wondered if anyone would post the lyrics to John Connolly's great song Tom Of Holmfirth from his Ranter's Wharf record.

Thanks in anticipation.

No offence, but his name is spelled Conolly. That may help with searches, although he's so frequently listed with a double 'n' that it likely doesn't make a difference anymore.

I cannot find the lyrics online. He (JC) was commissioned to write the song to commemorate rushbearing in Holmfirth, so if no one comes up with the lyrics perhaps an email to the town? city? might be helpful.

John occasionally looks at Mudcat so he might see this.

If you don't have any luck in other ways, join here and PM me and I'll give you his email address.

Doh! Just the one N!

Thanks Steve. Appreciate that. If I have no luck elsewhere, I'll be in touch.

One could also transcribe from this file- but I'd always recommend the purchase of his lovely albums. https://myspace.com/johnconolly/music/song/tom-of-holmfirth-32446797-33321339

Think I tried the above my space track and if so it only has the first part of the song.
