Willie the Wimp Songtext
von Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Willie the Wimp Songtext
Yeah
Ladies and gentlemen, here′s a song by a man named Bill Carter from Austin, Texas
It's a song that he wrote one day after looking at the newspaper
Readin′ a story about this underway of character from Chicago
Flash cat, you know
One of the guys
That's got so many rings on so many fingers that he can keep a little business
And then he was, to take it all, you know
He was burried in a Cadillac coffin
Drivin' as if he didn′t know he done drove it to death
So anyway, once again
It′s about time to say hello to Willie
Willie the Wimp was buried today
They laid him to rest in a special way
Sent him off in the finest style
That casket mobile really drove 'em wild
South side Chicago will bark of him often
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
That casket, it looked like a fine Seville
He had a vanity license and a Cadillac grille
Willie was propped up in the driver′s seat
He had diamonds on his fingers and a smile sweet
Fine red suit had the whole town talkin'
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
In his Cadillac to Heaven, he was wavin′ the banner
He left like he lived, in a lively manner
A hundred dollar bills in his fingers tight
He had flowers for wheels and a flashin' headlights
Wishin′ for wings, but no way he was walkin'
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
I said, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Goodbye, Willie
So long, buddy
