"He Was A Friend Of Mine" lyrics

The Byrds Lyrics

"He Was A Friend Of Mine"

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
Oh, he was a friend of mine

The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn! album cover
Turn! Turn! Turn!
It Won't Be Wrong
Set You Free This Time
Lay Down Your Weary Tune
He Was A Friend Of Mine
The World Turns All Around Her
Satisfied Mind
If You're Gone
The Times They Are A-Changin'
Wait And See
Oh! Susannah
The Day Walk (Never Before)
She Don't Care About Time
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Stranger In A Strange Land
(Instrumental)
