Johnny Cash sang it. It was ONE PIECE AT A TIME. The lyrics go:

Well I left Kentucky back in 49. 
       
And I went to Detroit workin' on an assembly line. 
The first year they had me puttin wheels on Caddillacs .
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by, 
and sometimes id hang my head and cry 
Cause i always wanted me one that was long and black. 
       
One day I devised myself a plan that should be the envy of most any man 
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunch box in my hand 
Now, gettin' caught meant gettin' fired 
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired, 
And I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand. 
       
(CHORUS) 
I'd get it one piece at a time 
And it wouldn't cost me a dime. 
You'll know it's me when I come through your town 
I'm gonna ride around in style. 
I'm gonna drive everybody wild. 
Cause I'll have the only one there is around.
       
So the very next day when I punched in, 
With my big lunch box and with help from my friends, 
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears. 
I've never considered myself a thief, 
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece,
Especially if I strung it out over several years. 
The first day I got me a fuel pump, 
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk, 
Then i got me a transmission and all the chrome. 
       
The little things I could get in my big lunch box 
Like nuts and bolts and all 4 shocks. 
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home. 
       
Now, up to now, my plan went all right 
Till we tried to put it all together one night .
And that's when we noticed that somethin' was definitely wrong. 
The transmission was a 53, 
And the motor turned out to be a 73, 
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone, 
So we drilled it out so that it would fit.
And with a little bit of help from an adapter kit 
We had that engine runnin' just like a song.
       
Now the headlights they was another sight,
We had 2 on the left and one on the right, 
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on. 
       
The back end looked kind a funny too, 
But we put it together and when we got through 
Well that's when we noticed that we only had one tail fin. 
About that time my wife walked out, 
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts ,
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin." 
       
So we drove up town just to get the tags,
And I headed right on down main drag, 
And I could hear everybody laughing for blocks around. 
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh, 
Cause to type it up it took the whole staff, 
And when they got through the title weighed 60 pounds. 
       

(CHORUS)

Uh, yeah, Red-rider, this is the Cottonmouth in the sycho-billy-Cadillac,
come on.
 
This is the Cottonmouth and negatory on the cost on this machine here. 

Red-rider, you might say I right up to the factory and picked it up, it was
cheaper that way. 

What model is it? 

It's a 49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59 automobile, 
It's a 60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70 automobile.
