Byrds – He Was A Friend Of Mine lyrics

Album: Turn! Turn! Turn!

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
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

Leader of a nation
For such a precious time!
