LINCOLN LIMOUSINE As recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis (From the 1966 Album MEMPHIS BEAT) [Intro] [Verse 1] Well they shot him in the back seat of a Lincoln limousine Was a great great leader by the name of Kennedy He fought for right and freedom tried to keep this nation clean But they shot him in the backseat of a Lincoln limousine [Verse 2] And he had ten million dollars had the world right in his hand But a twenty dollar rifle cut the life of this great man He had a lovely wife and two children seldom seen But they shot him in the backseat of a Lincoln limousine [Verse 3] Well they shot him out in Texas where the longhorn cattle roam Oh Lord it would have been better if he had stayed at home This nation is a great place but one fact still remains That they shot a president in the backseat of a limousine [Verse 4] Well they shot him in the back seat of a Lincoln limousine Was a great great leader by the name of Kennedy He fought for right and freedom tried to keep this nation clean But they shot him in the backseat of a Lincoln limousine [Verse 5] And this man he did not die on a far and distant shore He died at Dallas Texas a place not known for war This country is supposed to be the land of the brave and free But they shot him in the backseat of a Lincoln limousine [Verse 6] And the moral of the story that it really has no end It goes to show you never know who’s your enemy or your friend Well they shot him in the back seat of a Lincoln limousine Was a great great leader by the name of Kennedy He fought for right and freedom tried to keep this nation clean But they shot him in the backseat of that Lincoln limousine [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'assassinat tragique d'un grand leader, un président prénommé Kennedy. Elle décrit comment, malgré son pouvoir et ses richesses, sa vie a été brutalement écourtée par une balle, alors qu'il se trouvait dans une limousine à Dallas. Elle souligne non seulement la perte de cet homme qui se battait pour le droit et la liberté, mais aussi l'ironie de sa mort dans un pays censé être le refuge des braves. Ce drame, survenu dans un cadre inattendu, rappelle que les vérités sur l'amitié et l'ennemi peuvent souvent se révéler trompeuses.
