Willie The Wimp lyrics

Willie the Wimp
by Stevie Ray Vaughan

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
Southside Chicago will think of him often
Talkin` `bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin,
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`
Talkin` `bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

0h, Cadillac to Heaven he was wavin` the banner
He left like he lived, in a lively manner
With a-hundred dollar bills in his fingers tight
He had flowers for wheels and a-flashin` headlights
He been wishin` for wings, no way he was walkin`
Talkin` `bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
