Thread Name: Meltham, Yorkshire folksong
Subject: RE: Meltham, Yorkshire folksong
One song relating to some of the smaller towns and villages around Huddersfield, and which may be associated with the Holme Valley tradition begins:-
There's Linfit and Slawit and Marsden 'otel
Bills o' Jacks Meltham and Crossland - Crab Well........

Cho.
Encore, encore, we'll 'ave a glass more
Encore, encore, there'e time fer one more
Encore, encore, we'll 'ave a glass more,
An' then we'll go quietly 'ome, bow, wow.

Is anyone familiar with this in Kirklees, or beyond?
