Ballad of Freezing Ed

(To the tune of Beverly Hillbillys)

Gonna tell you a story bout a man named Ed

Flies around the country just to keep his family fed

A pretty good guy who likes to laugh and joke

But he's up in freezing Baltimore, stuck without a coat

(Wind chills...snow flurries...frozen sunshine)

Sitting down in Tampa when the bossman calls to say

"Ol' boy you're doing wonderful, we need you in L.A."

He didn't pack no long sleeves, didn't pack no coat

Still be soaking up the sunshine, just on the other coast

Cruising El Segundo in a rented Malibu

Someone rings his cell phone, I know you know just who

Bossman says, "You're kicking ass and great things lay in store,

By the way, go trade your ticket home for one to Baltimore."

(Maryland...funny accents...speed traps)

So now you know the story of a badly freezing Ed

Don't even have a ball cap to warm his tiny head

While Ed ain't no complainer, ain't the kind to cry

He ain't answering his cell phone til he's on the plane tonight.

Goodnight Jethro, out

Ramblin' Ed
