A young man rode with his head held high
Under the Texas sun
And no one guessed that a man so blessed
Would perish by the gun
Lord, would perish by the gun

A shot ran out like a Southern shout
And Heaven held its breath
For the dream of multitude and peace
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]
Rode with him to his death
Lord, rode with him to his death

Yes, the heart of the world weighed heavy
With the helplessness of tears
For a man cut down in a Texas town
In the summer of his years
In the summer of his years
