He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose,
No reason or rhyme,
He was a friend of mine.
He was in Dallas town
He was in Dallas town
From a 6th 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
He was a friend of mine.
Leader of a nation
At such a precious time,
He was a friend of mine.
Ramblin' Jack Elliott, born Elliott Charles Adnopoz in 1931, is an American musician. Considered a pioneer of the folk revival of the 1960s, Elliott is known for his flatpicking guitar style and laconic, humorous vocals, often accompanied by harmonica. His singing style, tense with a nasal voice, influenced artists like Bob Dylan in his early years. Elliott is a master of traditional American music, spanning from country to blues, bluegrass to folk. Among his most representative songs are "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll", "Big Iron" and "Ramblin' Boy". His 1964 album, "Ramblin' Jack Elliott", is considered a classic of the folk genre.
