One, two, one two three four
Chorus:
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
Verse 1:
Well, I was born in Dallas in nineteen fifty-two
And Lee Harvey lived across the street on Ripley 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
Chorus
Verse 2:
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
Verse 3:
Well, I saw it all on TV, Lee Harvey got gunned down
And he was k**ed 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 k**ed Lee Harvey - my TV proved he did
Chorus
Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
