Who Did They Think He Was Songtext
von Conway Twitty

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
The second son of an Irishman, oh we all loved Kennedy
He was brave and strong and handsome, a hell of a 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 warm 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
Crying, 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
Crying, who did they think, who did they think he was
Who did they think, who did they think he was
