| Song | He Was a Friend of Mine |
| Artist | The Byrds |
| Album | The Complete Columbia Albums Collection |
| He was a friend of mine | |
| He was a friend of mine | |
| His killin' had no purpose | |
| No reason, or rhyme | |
| He was a friend of mine | |
| He was in Dallas Town | |
| He was in Dallas Town | |
| Form a sixth floor window | |
| A gunner shot him down | |
| He died in Dallas Town | |
| He never knew my name | |
| He never knew my name | |
| Though I never met him | |
| I knew him just the same | |
| Oh, he was a friend of mine | |
| Leader of a nation | |
| For such a precious talent | |
| He was a friend of mine |
