about
written and composed by Brian Woodbury
lyrics
Pulled up by his boot legs
Into the White House parlor
They got him right on the money
His head on a half dollar
Next to a Texan
Schemer and scholar
Ten-gallon swagger
It's anyone's call who's the
One who took the bullet
To warrant omission
What trigger man could pull it
From any position
A profile in courage
Sing Happy Birthday
Mister President and
Tip your hat to Connally
Riding next to history
Take another bow and
See the umbrella man
Cry
Into the White House parlor
They got him right on the money
His head on a half dollar
Next to a Texan
Schemer and scholar
Ten-gallon swagger
It's anyone's call who's the
One who took the bullet
To warrant omission
What trigger man could pull it
From any position
A profile in courage
Sing Happy Birthday
Mister President and
Tip your hat to Connally
Riding next to history
Take another bow and
See the umbrella man
Cry
