It was 7:00 this Saturday morning when yet again I was kept awake singing to myself....

"Davy's on the road again,
wearing different clothes again.
Davy's turning hand-outs down.
to keep his pockets clean....."

Manfred Mann's Earth Band, sung by Paul Jones.

....and I had to get up early to ask this infuriating question, otherwise I will never get a proper nights sleep ever again... Roll Eyes....!

Who, the flippin' Norah, was Davy, and why did he desperately need to keep his pockets clean...?

...answers please.... Wink....!
...Ta... Wink...!

By the way, do you have a particular tune which you  constantly sing to yourself, and can't get out of your head...?
LOL...LOL...LOL...!

Cheers all.... 8)...!
Paul....(no relation to Jones)... Grin...!
LOL...!

P.S. ...and another question: What was the name of the Hammond organ player, the bloke with the goatee beard and horn-rimmed spectacles...Manfred Mann...or not..?

Manfred Mann was the leader of the group named after him. He was the odd-looking chap with the beard you're talking about.

I was never too keen on the Manfred Mann group myself although I do like Paul Jones & some of the original members. Apparently they haven't spoken to Manfred for years. I went to a Paul Jones Blues Band concert last year & was suitably impressed.

Everything you wanted to know about the Manfreds.

I have no idea who Davy was. Not sure I remember the song.
