He Was A Friend Of Mine
(traditional/Jim McGuinn)
he was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine
his killing had no purpose, no reason or rhyme
he was a friend of mine
he was in dallas town, he was in dallas town
from a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down
he died in dallas town
he never knew my name, he never knew my name
though I never met him I know him just the same
he never knew my name
he was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine
leader of our nation for such a precious time
oh, he was a friend of mine
