He Was A Friend Of Mine Songtext / Lyric

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
