JFK assassination 1963.

lyrics

On my wall there’s a picture hanging before me
What goes on, in my mind as I look before me

A painting of John, on black velvet it’s John
Staring back at me, it’s gotta be John

Sunny Dallas day, shots rang out on a downtown street
His car sped away, John’s fate he went off to meet

A painting of John, on black velvet it’s John
Staring back at me, it’s gotta be John

Hey it’s not like he died for my sins, somebody’s bullet’s what did him in
after all these years a black cloud hangs over his head
They say Lee Harvey pulled the trigger if that’s what you believe then go and figure
cause we’ll never know what Lee Harvey would have said

On my wall a picture of a man who died too young
On my wall, we’ll never know just what he’d of done

A painting of John, on black velvet it’s John
Staring back at me, it’s gotta be John
