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 6th 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 was a friend of mine.

Leader of a nation
At such a precious time,
He was a friend of mine.
