TOM WOODS (Jane Ludlam) CHORUS: For every season of the year, Tom Woods has brewed a special beer What better reason could be found To drink the whole year round To drink the whole year round Its freshness will your senses fill Its flavour light and dry It’s brewed to celebrate the spring So raise your glasses high So raise your glasses high CHORUS This light and fruity summer brew High spirited unfold You quench our thirsty voices with Your colour bright and gold Your colour bright and bold CHORUS The changing moods of autumn that Combine within this glass Help us endure approaching storms And smile upon the past And smile upon the past CHORUS To keep at bay the cold and chill This dark and warming ale We’ll drink good friends together till We have sung our winters tale We have sung our winters tale CHORUS This song was written by JANE LUDLAM, a member of the now defunct folk group DONKEY’S BREAKFAST as an entry and subsequently winner of “A song for Lincolnshire” competition hosted by Radio Lincolnshire. A recording of this song appears on the groups album “The Farmer & The Fisherman”, Label: Not on label DBCD01 issued in 1996 The song is featured regularly at my Nottingham (UK) folk club. I believe TOM WOODS brewery no longer exists after having a brief life between 1995 & 1997
