I'm still hoping somebody will come up with the lyrics to this song. Is it possible?

Lesley N: Did you ever read the Seven Percent Solution? Not by Doyle, but about Holmes & fun nevertheless. There was a movie mad eof it many about 20 years ago; can't remember much of it, except that it made me want to read the book, which I did, too many mons ago to say much except that I know I enjoyed it!

Yes, he's a very interesting man - wrote a lot of historical novels besides Sherlock. There's a neat bio of him at the The Conan Doyle Society (http://www.ash-tree.bc.ca/acdsbio.html). Tried to do a search for Cremona and Doyle - got mostly violin stuff! Guess It will have to wait for a visit to the library - darn, I must prefer instant gratification!

And speaking of Conan Doyle.... I heard a friend of mine singing a very nice setting of a poem of Doyles called (I think) "Cremona" - about one of the battles of the Wild Geese .

This sounds a bit like T.S. Eliot's cat book.

I was drawn to this thread because of my fondness for Sherlock Holmes! (For those who aren't Conan Doyle fans - Moriarty was Holmes' archnemisis.) It strikes me funny to have a bobby named Moriarty! (No offense to any other Moriartys out there....

Incredibly I found a tune named Sherlock Holmes in the Scottish Students' Songbook... It must have been writteen shortly after Holmes' perished with the non-bobby Moriarty because the last verse says the Swiss story is a plant! (And Doyle did eventually bring him back)

That's as close as I got. Hope someone else will be able to help!

Am seeking the words to a song entitled "Moriarity" at least I think that is the name. The chorus is as follows: I'm a well known bobby, Of the stalwart squad. I belong to the DMG, And the people cry As I passs by Aren't you Moriarity
