Ballad Of Freddie And Sue

Freddie came from Louis-e-anne
Loved to feel his toes in the sand
Met him and Sue one island night
Thought I'd known them all my life
They learned by heart every song I sang
We could talk for hours about anything
They saved my neck a time or two
This is the Ballad of Freddie and Sue

They were at their regular table most Friday nights
Always a bottle of wine to make it feel right
They brought more friends to hear me than I can count
The kind of amigos it's hard to do without
Freddie flew all over - Sue worked in Houston town
She'd pick him up at the airport then they'd drive on down
I miss them dancing and their laughter too
This is the Ballad of Freddie and Sue

Now the Captain's Table is a ghostly shrine
A casualty Ike left behind
I used to sing at the Table - They all knew my name
Where Freddie and Sue and my other friends came
I can close my eyes and taste the salt in the air
When I move away part of me stayed down there
Friends forever - Tried and true
This is the Ballad of Freddie and Sue
