President Kennedy — текст песни (Ry Cooder)

(Sleepy John Estes)

Late one Friday evening everybody was sad
We lost the best president we ever had
But he`s gone home, gone back home
He`s staying away too long

Rode from town to town holdin` up for our rights
Some low down rascal took the President`s life
But he`s gone home, gone back home
He`s staying away too long

Mrs. Kennedy got a mansion on the Island, stayed 9 months, all she`d be
She have another mansion, soon as she reach Washington, D.C.
But he`s gone home, gone back home
He`s staying away too long

Everybody votes, they don`t know what`s goin` on
If Goldwater get it, we won`t have no home
But he`s gone home, gone back home
He`s staying away too long

While horses and cars all in a row
I think Mr. Kennedy have a right to this long white robe
But he`s gone home, gone back home
He`s staying away too long
