Post for November 22

Today is the anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination so I'd like to share some lyrics of a song about it written by Odella Javins Byrd. Unfortunately I only remember a verse and a half. It's sung to the tune of "Philadelphia Lawyer" and starts out with "It was in Dallas, Texas. A place we all know well."

Here's the verse that has stayed in my mind for 40-something years:

"The car slowed down to round a curve
There was a rifle shot.
The bullet hit the president
In a very fatal spot."

Sorry I don't know the rest.

~ Linda
