There came a call
In the middle of the night
It woke me up
And gave me such a fright
My buddy Stevie
Said that Fred had died
And when he said it
I cried and cried
All gone now
He's all gone now
And nothing's ever gonna
Bring him on back
I miss him all the time
This old friend of mine
All gone now
Always thought
That Fred'd be around
I never figured
He'd ever be struck down
But time keeps a-marchin'
Tramples you like a horse
Nothing you can do
It's an unstoppable force
Poor old Fred
He passed so young
No more pearls
Will fall from his tongue
Woe is him
But more woe is me
I gotta a big ol' hole
Where my heart used to be
