Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Ahhh, ahh, ahhhhh, oh
Was just a small boy from the east,
He's head was full of plans
Would grow to be our president
Serve throughout the land
Tried to make our country right
Tried to do what he said
But others had a different way
They all wanted him dead
It was a perfect day
In a Texas town
His presence strong
Drawin thousands around
As the limo passed
Round the bend
The shots rang out
The shots rang out
It was a tragic day
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Ahhh, ahh, ahhhhh, oh
Tried to keep his brother's plan
Tried to do his country right
Gave his soul to his fellow man
Helped him win the fight
A spokesman for the young and poor
Didn't keep deprived ones low
But someone had a different way
They felt he had to go
It was a perfect day
In a California town
His presence strong
Drawin thousands around
He had finished his speech when the shots rang out
The shots rang out
The shots rang out
Another tragic day
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Ahhh, ahh, ahhhhh, oh
Took his plane up for a ride
His sister and wife inside
Made some plans for a Saturday
A wedding to attend
Left the airport in the night
Not knowing what's ahead
Something happened in the flight
That caused the nation's paid
It was a hazy flight,excitement in the air
It was another trip for the happy pair
What was their last thoughts as the plane Went down
The plane went down
The plane went down,
Another tragic day
