Red Cadillac and a Black Moustache (Warren Smith cover)

cover of the 1957 Warren Smith song (written by Bob Luman). This is one of my favorite songs from the Sun Records 50th Anniversary double CD.

Lyrics by Bob Luman

Who you been lovin' since I been gone
A long tall man with a red coat on
Good-for-nothing-baby you've been doing me wrong
Who you been lovin' since I been gone
Who you been lovin' since I been gone

Who's been playing around with you
A real cool cat with eyes of blue
Triflin' baby are you being true
Who's been fooling around with you
Who's been fooling around with you

Somebody saw you at the break of day
Dining and a-dancing in the cabaret
He was long and tall, he had plenty of cash
He had a red cadillac and a black moustache

He held your hand and he sang you a song
Who you been lovin' since I been gone
Who you been lovin' since I been gone

Who's been playing around with you
A real cool cat with eyes of blue
Triflin' baby are you being true
Who's been fooling around with you
Who's been fooling around with you

Somebody saw you at the break of day
Dining and a-dancing in the cabaret
He was long and tall, he had plenty of cash
He had a red cadillac and a black moustache

He held your hand and he sang you a song
Who you been lovin' since I been gone
Who you been lovin' since I been gone

Love this version! A drummer would throw a beat in, but hey - This sounds like one of those rare demo cuts some good bands come out with. I'm 39...Love the original, but this really is very good - KUDOS!

[marrzipan]

Thanks VERY much! :)

[memphisvic]

Very nice boys... I work @ SUN Studio and I listen to all these sonds on the jukebox. Very Nice.

[marrzipan]

Hey thanks! I imagine working at Sun studios must be truly great. :)

[whupass95]

Tempo, boys, tempo! You're missing the point. This song's special - a ballad, but it has to jump. Try again. Find a drummer.

[marrzipan]

Ha, I agree with the drummer part of your comment. :)

I love it. These guys have a lot to be proud of. I grew up listening to Robert Gordon's version of this tune.
