Mighty Sparrow Lyrics
"A Death Of Kennedy"

President Kennedy is in heaven I'm sure
May he rest in peace for ever more
It will take us over a century
To get a next man like Kennedy
He never should have passed through Texas oh-oh

The world never miss a man so since de death of Christ
And lord it was terrible oh what a sacrifice
He's gone and without a prayer
Not one word he said
When dis Texas gunman shot him in de head and he dead
I said de Texas gunman shot him in de head and he dead

He was loved he was feared
He was respected even in the East
Yet he was known to be a man of peace
All his trouble was for humanity
His salary went to charity
He was a man amongst men
We all lost a friend

The world never miss a man so since de death of Christ
And lord it was terrible oh what a sacrifice
He's gone and without a prayer
Not one word he said
When dis Texas gunman shot him in de head and he dead
I said de Texas gunman shot him in de head and he dead

In Cuba in Berlin and in Vietnam
Like a champion Kennedy handled de situation

The world never miss a man so since de death of Christ
And lord it was terrible oh what a sacrifice
He's gone and without a prayer
Not one word he said
When dis Texas gunman shot him in de head and he dead
I said de Texas gunman shot him in de head and he dead.

November 22nd was the day he died
When I got the news how I cried
To me Kennedy meant security
Lots of hope and equality
Then dis trigger-happy clown shot him down

The world never miss a man so since de death of Christ
And lord it was terrible oh what a sacrifice
He's gone and without a prayer
Not one word he said
When dis Texas gunman shot him in de head and he dead
I said de Texas gunman shot him in de head and he dead.
