Songs To Remember

■He Was A Friend Of Mine / The Byrds
元々はトラディショナル・フォークですが、バーズのヴァージョンはJFKの一件を含み新たな一節を加えております。そこがまた沁みるんだなあ。
セカンドの「Turn Turn Turn」から。

"He was in Dallas town / He was in Dallas town / From 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 time"
