[Verse 1]
Late one Friday everybody was sad
We lost the best president we ever had
But he's gone home, gone back home
He's staying away too long

[Verse 2]
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 home
He's staying away too long

[Verse 3]
Mrs. Kennedy got a mansion on the Island, stayed 9 months, all she'd be
She have another mansion, soon as she reach Washington, D.C
But he's gone home, gone back home
He's staying away too long

[Verse 4]
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 home
He's staying away too long

[Instrumental break]
[Verse 5]
White horses and cars all in a row
I think Mr. Kennedy have a right to his long white robe
But he's gone home, gone back home
He's staying away too, too long
