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
My favorite by Warren Smith, this is one fine rockaballad but doesn’t have too bad a case of the ‘Sun Sound’. Phillips held this back from release for whatever reason, perhaps doubting its commercial appeal. But if ‘So Long, I’m Gone’ managed to catch on, ‘Red Cadillac’ should have done okay. Warren Smith was one of the more potentially marketable singers in the Rockabilly community, but with one exception he never made the charts. Plenty of singers at Sun never made it, Sam Phillips just never had enough money lying around to promote new artists along with Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. Bob Luman’s version is more ‘raw’ but doesn’t capture the emotion the lyrics demand. It’s not supposed to be raw, Warren does better here and the studio quality is significantly better too
