Lyrics:Lee Harvey Was A Friend Of Mine

One, two, one two three four

Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
He used to take me fishin' all the time
He used to throw a ball to me when I was just a kid
They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did

Well, I was born in Dallas in 1952
And Lee Harvey lived across the street on Bentley Avenue
He used to throw a ball to me when I was just a kid
They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did

Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
He used to take me fishin' all the time
He used to throw a ball to me when I was just a kid
They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did

Well, I've seen that picture of him holdin' pamphlets and a gun
And there's shadows pointin' every which way, but only just one sun
Someone faked that photo and then snuck away and hid
They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did

Lee Harvey was a friend of mine

Well, I saw it all on TV, Lee Harvey got gunned down
And he was killed off by Jack Ruby, the biggest sleaze in town
He stuck a gun into his ribs and said, "Here's lookin' at you, kid"
Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey - my TV proved he did

Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
He used to take me fishin' all the time
He used to throw a ball to me when I was just a kid
They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did

Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
