(Sleepy John Estes)
|
|
Late one Friday evening everybody was sad
|
We lost the best president we ever had
|
But he's gone home, gone back home
|
He's staying away too long
|
|
Rode from town to town holdin' up for our rights
|
Some low down rascal took the President's life
|
But he's gone home, gone back home
|
He's staying away too long
|
|
Mrs. Kennedy got a mansion on the Island, stayed 9 months, all she'd be
|
She have another mansion, soon as she reach Washington, D.C.
|
But he's gone home, gone back home
|
He's staying away too long
|
|
Everybody votes, they don't know what's goin' on
|
If Goldwater get it, we won't have no home
|
But he's gone home, gone back home
|
He's staying away too long
|
|
While horses and cars all in a row
|
I think Mr. Kennedy have a right to this long white robe
|
But he's gone home, gone back home
|
He's staying away too long
|
