HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE- The Byrds
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
His killing has 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
Oh he was a friend of mine
The leader of a nation for such a precious time
Oh he was a friend of mine
