I asked Guy which song is the one about Deptford days  and he didn't answered...

I think that it might be "one song at a time" because of the reference he did to Chet Atkins saying he left poverty one song at a time, which is what MK did from starving on first DS days to success... One song at a time ...

What do you think?
You might get lucky, now and then

It makes sense. And the hidden title of the album.
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

I wonder what's with the "shake your moneymaker" phrase appearing in first two songs on the album?  ???
I get the phrase alone :lol but, beside being repeated as part of the chorus in BotDF; it's in the Trapper Man as well.  :hmm :think

Don't forget, there was a version of this before, in Sucker Row, "Shake it up sell some beer   What's your money maker for?"
