He Was A Friend of Mine

<br>Traditional with additional lyrics by Jim McGuinn<br><br>He was a friend of mine<br>He was a friend of mine<br>His killing had no purpose<br>No reason, or rhyme<br>He was a friend of mine<br><br>He was in Dallas town<br>He was in Dallas town<br>Form a sixth floor window<br>A gunner shot him down<br>He died in Dallas town<br><br>He never knew my name<br>He never knew my name<br>Though I never met him<br>I knew him just the same<br>Oh, he was a friend of mine
