Elvis Bought Dora A Cadillac

It was 1957,

Evlis Presley came in the

Spanish restaurant where

Dora was working.

Dora took the order, bussed the plates,poured the coffee as the party ate.

Col. Tom paid the check and

Elvis Presleyleft the tip, a brand new

Cadillac....

And the Gods

I loved were poor white trash.

One was making wine in

Canaan, the othertipping waitresses

Cadillacs...

Twenty years later when

Elvis died she parkedthe

Caddy in the drive.

With plaster statues,lights, and stands she called her front yard

PRESLEY LA

ND. She said he was just a poor man'sson who never forgot where he'd come.

Now that he is dead and gone she sharesher gift with everyone....

And the Gods

I loved were poor white trash.

One was making wine in

Canaan, the othertipping waitresses

Cadillacs...

The landlord had all he could stand.

Better cash was close at hand.

The land, the land, the land was in demand."Down the way they're selling German cars.British clothes to movie stars.We can kick the Spanish out for good,rejuvenate the neighborhood. I'm the laughingstock of all my friends, with that crazy oldwoman and her Presley Land..."

When she was left with nothing, she said"They sold my house, can't get it back,could hardly raise the cash if I soldmy Cadillac...even if I could do that."

And the Gods

I loved were poor white trash.

One was making wine in

Canaan, the othertipping waitresses

Cadillacs...
