They Killed Him
The Highwaymen

There was a man named Mahatma Ghandi

He would not bow down, he would not fight

He knew the deal was down and dirty

And nothing wrong could make it right away


But he knew his duty, and the price he had to pay

Just another holy man who tried to make a stand

MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM !


Another man from Atlanta, Georgia

By the name of Martin Luther King

He shook the land like rolling thunder

And made the bells of freedom ring today


With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away

Just another holy man who dared to be a friend

MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM !



The only son of God Almighty

The holy one called Jesus Christ

Healed the lame and fed the hungry

And for his love they took his life away


On the road to glory where the story never ends

Just the holy son of man we'll never understand

MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM !


Sing about Mahatma Ghandi

Sing of Martin Luther King

Sing Of Jesus Christ Almighty

And the brothers Kennedy
