Billy Strawn Songtext
von Dale Watson

My name is Billy Strawn
And I have this one famous customer, Elvis Presley

It was back in 1960
Found a hundred dollar note
In the floorboard of the back seat
Of a car he was working on
It belonged to Elvis Presley

And Billy was an honest man
He had to give it back to Elvis
With his own callous hands
Elvis said, "Who found my money?"
Billy said, "I did" with his growl

Elvis said, "Honest man, honest man"
Billy Strawn
Honest man, honest man
Billy Strawn, Billy Strawn


Trusted by the king
For every car he owned
He was Elvis′ mechanic
From that moment on
Honest man, honest man
Billy Strawn

Now Billy's still around
Though Elvis, he is gone
Billy′s still the trusted man
That the king depended on
Now what would Elvis do
If he needed his car working?

Call honest man, honest man
Billy Strawn
Honest man, honest man
Billy Strawn, Billy Strawn

Trusted by the king
For every car he owned
He was Elvis' mechanic
From that moment on

Honest man, honest man
Billy Strawn
Honest man, honest man
Billy Strawn, Billy Strawn


Trusted by the king
For every car he owned
He was Elvis' mechanic
From that moment on
Honest man, honest man
Billy Strawn

There′s a hundred dollar bill lying there
He and his dad come pulling in the driveway in a new Teebur
And I was right on the driveway
Putting a headlight on a car
And he got out, and he wanted to know, uh
Who found the money in his car
Of course, I spoke up and told him that
I was the one who found the money
And he said, "Honest man, honest man"
