Mr. Kennedy was born
But now he is gone
To never returning a-more
Made me feel sad
He's the best friend we had
He's from the rich and the poor
Now I can't muchin' tell
It'll last me for years
His memory still rings in my head.
Now this sorry grief
Had a great family
They all seemed so happy and gay
From adults to a child
They all seemed to a-have a smile
They must a-have been born that way
Now I can't much-a tell
It'll last me for years
His memory still rings in my head.
Mmh God bless little John
That little Caroline responds
And also their mother dear
His father and mother
Sister and brother
They must-a been born that way
Now I can't muchin' tell
It'll last me for years
His memory still rings in my head.
Mmh this sorry grief
Had a great family
All seemed so happy and gay
Father and his mother
Sister and brother
They must a-have been born that way
Now I can't much-a tell
It'll last me for years
His memory still rings in my head.
