Lyrics for That Was The President by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | That Was The President | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 54 | | | | Lyrics: | G C G Bm
The bullets of the false revenge have struck
us once again
Em Am D
As the angry seas have struck upon
the sand
G C G Bm
And it seemed as
though a friendless world had lost itself a friend
Em D
G
That was the President and that was the man.
I still can see him smiling there and
waving at the crowd
As he drove through the music of the band
And never even knowing no more
time would be allowed
Not for the President and not for the man.
Here's a memory to
share, here's a memory to save
Of the sudden early ending of command
Yet a part of you and a
part of me is buried in his grave
That was the President and that was the man.
It's not
only for the leader that the sorrow hits so hard
There are greater things I'll never
understand
How a man so filled with life, even death was caught off guard.
That was the
President and that was the man.
Every thing he might have done and all he could have
been
Was proven by the troubled traitors hand
For what other death could wound the hearts of
so many men
That was the President and that was the man.
Yes, the glory that was
Lincoln's never died when he was slain
It's been carried over time and time again
And to the
list of honor you may add another name
That was the President and that was the man.
That was
the President and that was the man.
Here is an older version of the song, supplied by Cody
Gillespie-Lynch
On a South Pacific ocean, on a South Pacific shore,
A legend was
written on the sand,
For a man of peace was born in the middle of a war,-acapo | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
