Who remembers The Man in The Long Grey Coat
A Man they called Lonesome adrift on a Boat
Who remembers his shyness, His love of The Blues
Walking everywhere in Baseball boots.
Scratching a living with Savoy Brown
Playing his heart out but feeling so down
Tours of America and Europe abound
But going nowhere as if never leaving Town.
He met the love of his life whom gave him the lift
The confidence to stretch became a gift
Touring real hard with only one thing in mind
To Share time with his new love and watch the good times unwind
He set off to the states not knowing His Fate
With His compadres they entered the gate
An opening at last with the Bearsville cast A label that gave of everything they asked.
Foghat were live and centre stage Came the Man they called Lonesome Dave
The new love he found would stay behind. Back in the U,K with love so blind
Linda loved Dave and soon followed The Band A New life in New York He took her hand
Who remembers The Man in the Long Grey Coat
The Man with the tonsils and the songs he wrote
Foghat became Fools for the city
Touring North America and raising Family
A boy and two daughters would raise there hope
Of a life with Good Music they did more than cope
Life on the Road for Dave and the Band
Became like the Song Home in My Hand
Never stopping to remember the Pub Rock days
Just Hitting The Road set in there ways.
So here's to the Boogie, Road cases and Men
Been on The Road since God knows when
No going back working to play
Lonesome Dave remembered to this day.
Up stairs in Heaven You can still here him play
