Thread Name: Lyr Req: songs about the Kennedy assassination
Subject: Lyr Add: ON TOP OF GOLDWATER (Milton Schwartz)
Here's one by Milton M. Schwartz from his songbook __SING ALONG WITH JACK---HIT SONGS FROM THE NEW FRONTIER__

This is presented here for Barry Goldwater---who is quite ill right now.

"ON TOP OF GOLDWATER" (J.F.K.'s Lament)
(tune "On Top Of Old Smoky")

On top of Goldwater,
Who gets out of hand,
There's Tower of Texas,
How much can I stand?

There's Ev'rett and Charlie,
And Time Magazine,
And Democrat Lausche,
You know what I mean.

With critical letters,
My office is strewn,
And I've had to cancel,
The Herald Tribune.

They're just being friendly,
And anxious to please,
With friends like I've mentioned,
Who needs enemies?
