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 He was a friend of mine He was in Dallas town He was in Dallas town Form 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 Oh, he was a friend of mine Leader of a nation for such a precious time He was a friend of mine
