Bob Dylan Lyrics - They Killed Him Lyrics lyrics

There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,

He would not bow down, he would not fight.

He knew the deal was a-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 dared to be a friend.

My God, they killed him.

Another man from Atlanta, Georgia,

Name of Martin Luther King

He shook the land like a rolling thunder

And made the bells of freedom ring today

With a dream of beauty that they could not take away

Just another holy man who dared to make a stand.

My God, they killed him.

The only Son of God Almighty

The holy one called Jesus Christ

He healed the sick 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 I'll never understand.

My God, they killed him.

(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,

A man named Martin Luther King

The only Son of God Almighty

The holy one called Jesus Christ)

On the road to glory where the story never ends

Just the holy Son of Man I'll never understand.

My God, they killed him.

There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,

A man named Martin Luther King

The only Son of God Almighty

The holy one called Jesus Christ

On the road to glory where the story never ends

Just the holy Son of Man I'll never understand.

My God, they killed him.

(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,

A man named Martin Luther King

The only Son of God Almighty

The holy one called Jesus Christ)

(There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi,

A man named Martin Luther King...)
