Thread Name: Lyr Req: Willie Leonard (John Conolly)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Willie Leonard
The 'Willie Leonard'/'Lakes of Coolfin' song must hold some sort of record for having a huge number of different titles; have a look in the Roud Index under Round Number 189.

However Darlodave is asking for a different song with the same name written by John Conolly about a Grimsby deckie. The song originally appeared in the 1985 play 'The Northern Trawl' and is included in John Conolly's CD The Northern Trawl. From reading a previous request by Darlodave, I think that he has already got the CD but is having difficulty making out some of the words, which is why he is asking for help.

It could be worth making a direct approach to John Conolly himself?
