SORRY MY NAME ISN'T FRED
(Harlan Howard)

Bobby Helms - 1967



 
My heart should be light as a feather
For just yesterday we were wed
But why on our first night together
Did you call me your darling Fred

Sorry, my name isn't Fred
How I wish I could be him instead
For that one word told me where your heart longs to be
I'm sorry, my name isn't Fred

(Instrumental Break)

When you said I do at the altar
I thought I heard love in your voice
But I guess it was love for another
And I'm just for second choice

Sorry, my name isn't Fred
How I wish I could be him instead
For that one word told me where your heart longs to be
I'm sorry, my name isn't Fred
