"President Kennedy" lyrics - SON HOUSE
[Producer]
79125 take it away Son House
[Son House]
Mr. Kennedy was born, but now he is gone
To never return anymore
Makes me feel sad, he's the best friend we had
He's from the rich and the poor
Now I can't muchin' tell
It'll last me for years
His memory still rings in my head
Now this sorry grief
Had a great family
They all seemed so happy and gay
From adults to a child
They all seemed to a-have a smile
They must a-have been born that way
Now I can't much-a tell
It'll last me for years
His memory still rings in my head
Mmh now God bless little John
That little Caroline responds
And also their mother dear
His father and mother
Sister and brother
They must-a been born that way
Now I can't muchin' tell
It'll last me for years
His memory still rings in my head
Mmh this sorry grief
Had a great family
All seemed so happy and gay
Father and his mother
Sister and brother
They must a-have been born that way
Now I can't much-a tell
It'll last me for years
His memory still rings in my head
