The main theme is a guy stopping on the corner to listen to a "Fat boy in a 57 Ford".

The song talks about how the car is in disrepair, the driver's clothes were grease stained, but he was super happy singing. And his voice sounded like a couple angels.

This is a folk song, but I can't find it. I have heard it only a couple times.

Thank you,

Thank you.

I think it is a folk song, and maybe was even done by Johnny Cash... but I am not sure.

Johnny Patton sings 57 Ford but that was is about his truck being in disrepair trying to drive back to his lady hoping the truck makes it.
Don't recall a reference about a fat boy.

Black, That was a great song, but quite a bit faster than the one I am looking for.

I know I am looking for an obscure folk song.
