There's a fellow in our band
He's the best in all the land
Bottleneck and a strong right hand
Swing out Dave
Once he drove a laundry truck
Then he had a change of luck
When The Blues Band called him up
Swing out Dave
Some men search for fortune
Others seek for fame
With Dave it's the music
He plays those blues licks
That's how he made his name
Lets his fingers do the walking
Lets his guitar do the talking
In Cork, New York and Rolling Fork
Swing out Dave
When it's time to raise the heat
Get the folks up on their feet
The engine room lays down the beat
Swing out Rob
Oh no - it's the bass solo
Some men search for fortune
Others seek for fame
Dave's played with Muddy
John Lee and Buddy
Helping to carry the flame
Lets his fingers do the walking
Lets his guitar do the talking
In Cork, New York and deepest Dorking
Swing out
Let it ring out
Swing out Dave
