The Byrds - He Was A Friend of Mine lyrics

rate me

Traditional with additional lyrics by Jim McGuinn

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
