A child was born
in Tupelo in 1935
I'm grateful for his music
It forever changed my life
Oh I loved love me tender
And how that boy could sing
But when he died
I wondered why
millions called him king
Tell me
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
The whole world bowed
and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
He was born in Massachusetts
in 1917
A second son of an lrishman
Oh we all loved Kennedy
He was brave and strong
and handsome
A ****uva president
But when he died
millions cried
Like he was heaven sent
Tell me
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
The whole world bowed
and prayed
But it only made me say
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
There was a child of heaven
Born in Bethlehem
Just a simple carpenter
With worn
and calloused hands
Oh he healed
the hearts of many
So they nailed him to a tree
With no one left
to mourn his death
But the women
at his feet cryin'
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
There was no one left to grieve
But the women
at his feet cryin'
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
Who did they think
Who did they think he was
