He once shot a man just for snoring
Got out of bed and shot him dead
Well his name was (pause)
I didn't know what his name was
so we just called him Fred
He was riding cross the desert
on a horse to another town
looking for a woman in a nightgown
the horses' name was (pause)
I didn't know what his name was
so we just called him Fred
Chorus
ah oh now, Fred's a ridin' Fred's a ridin'
Fred Fred's ridin' Fred, Fred's ridin' Fred
Fred's ridin' Fred
Verse 3
Well he got into the town
met a woman in a nightgown
she was wearin' a frown (hell it rhymes)
well her name was (pause)
I didn't know what her name was
so we just called her Fred
repeat chorus
