Late one Friday everybody was sad
We lost the best president that we ever
He's gone home, gone back
He's staying away too long
Rode from town to town holdin' up for our rights
Some low down took the President's life
But he's gone home, gone back
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
He's staying away too long
Mrs. Kennedy got a mansion on the Island, stayed 9 months, all she'd be
She have another, soon as she reach Washington, D.C
But he's gone home, gone back
He's staying away too long
Now I went onstage, shaking like a leaf
Eighty thousand people had their eyes on me
But he's gone home, gone back
He's staying away too long
White 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
He's staying away too long
