I was born in Dallas
In 1952
Lee Harvey moved across the street
On Beckley Ave
He used to throw the ball to me
When I was just a kid
They say he shot the President
But I don't think he did
And Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
He used to take me fishing all the time
He used to throw the ball to me when I was just a kid
They say he shot the President but I don't think he did
Well, I seen that picture of him
With the pamphlets and a gun
The shadows pointing every which way
But there's only just one Sun
Someone faked that photo
It's locked away and hid
They say he shot the President
But I don't think he did
And Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
He used to take me fishing all the time
He used to throw the ball to me when I was just a kid
They say he shot the President but I don't think he did
I seen it all on TV
Lee Harvey got condemned
Murdered by Jack Ruby
The biggest sleeze in town
He stuck that gun right in his ribs and said
"Here's looking at you kid"
Ruby shot Lee Harvey
TV proved he did
And Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
(A very good friend)
He used to take me fishing all the time
He used to throw the ball to me when I was just a kid
Well, they saw he shot the President
(back and to the left *3)
But I don't think he did
