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 knew him just the same
He never knew my name
Leader of the nation
For such a precious time
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
