He Was a Friend of Mine Lyrics

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 mine

He was in Dallas town, he was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down
Oh, he died in Dallas townByrds, The - He Was a Friend of Mine - http://motolyrics.com/byrds-the/he-was-a-friend-of-mine-lyrics.html

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
Oh, he was a friend of mine
