Good Folks'

Here's another JFK song before I take off for a while.

THE STREETS OF DALLAS TOWN
by Benjamin Griffith
tune: The Wearin' O' The Green

Americans and did ya hear the news thats goin' 'round
They've gone and shot John Kennedy on the streets of Dallas town.

Chorus) On the streets of Dallas town
On the streets of Dallas town,
They've gone and shot our president,
On the streets of Dallas town

He stood for human dignity and rights the world around,
That's why they cut him down on the streets of Dallas town.

Everywhere a chorus of hate had made an awful sound,
That's why they cut him down on the streets of Dallas town.

And you and I had listened and had not made reply,
And that is why, in Dallas town, a good man had to die.
