He Was a Friend Of Mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

His killing had no purpose

No reason, or rhyme

Oh, he was a friend of mineHe was in Dallas town

He was in Dallas town

From a sixth floor window

A gunman shot him down

Oh, he died in Dallas townHe never knew my name

He never knew my name

Though I never met him

I knew him just the same

Oh, he was a friend of mineLeader of a nation for such a precious time

Oh, he was a friend of mine
