about

First came across this gem on Robert Gordon and Link Wray's album Fresh Fish Special. Later discovered the original by Rockabilly badboy Warren Smith.
A good song for the underdog:
"He was long and tall, he had plenty of cash
He had a red cadillac and a black moustache"

Here's Warren's cut at Sun

lyrics

Red Cadillac and a Black Moustache (Warren Smith)
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 foiling 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
