Lyrics:

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
