That'll do nicely!

"For every season of the year Tom Wood has brewed a special beer,
What better reason could be found to drink the whole year round"

Barrie Mathers, can you post the rest of this? Anybody have alternate versions?

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

Thank you, Bradfordian. This article says that Lincolnshire-based Tom Woods Beers fell into financial difficulties in 2017. The brewery was established in 1995.

Mea culpa. Thanks for the correction re the brewery, Joe. (Happy if you would like to correct my post)
Delighted to have been able to nail this song.
