A true story

kate clinton john mccutcheon & betsy rose

One morning while reading the paper in search of a new set of wheels

The classifieds had a most curious ad in their listing of automobiles

I read in suspicious amusement what seemed like a great stroke of luck

"corvette stingray" it said "low mileage bright red '83 model --

sixty-five bucks"

Well i was used to my newspaper's typos still i called up that number

straightway

"'bout that '83 'vette -- have you sold the thing yet?" she said "no

you're my first call today"

I said "there's been some mistake in the paper they printed the ad wrong

somehow"

"oh no" replied she "they got that from me." i said "don't sell that

car i'm leaving now"

Well her address was in the part of the city where i'd ventured just one

time or two

Where the doctors bank presidents and lawyers are residents and the

houses are massive and new

As i drove up her half-a-mile driveway there in the heat of the day

In the sunlight it gleamed the car of my dreams -- just sixty-five dollars

away

Well the interior was made of white leather it had a 587 v-8

Bow wingspan doors hurst four-on-the-floor and the 8-channel tape deck was

great

There was chrome on the chrome on the fender in an aerodynamic design

A phone a tv and it was bogglin' to me how for sixty-five bucks it was

mine

Well i suspected the woman was crazy to be selling the car at this price

But as we walked down the lane she seemed perfectly sane -- she was charming

and really quite nice

And she smiled in such great satisfaction as she handed me title and keys

I said "i've just got to know why you let this thing go -- what's wrong

with this car tell me please?"

Said she "i'll be sixty come tuesday and i've lived here with my husband

earl

After thirty years wed and without a word said he left me for a young

teenage girl

With his credit cards here on the table i knew that he couldn't go far

Last night from florida he sent a wire to me said 'i need money dear --

sell the car!'"
