Well, three more of Kris' songs from the Highwaymen concert "live from Nassau", that made me fell in love so badly with Kris' music.
It's available on DVD.

Some lovely scenes even made me smile.
Watch closely...

I love it so much when Kris starts dancing at 1:48 ... It's a pity that the cutter (or the director... producer...?) seemed not to notice that and focused on the guitar instead, too soon to me... (btw. Reggie Young is - how would Kris say? ... the very devil on the E-guitar!)

Kris Kristofferson
They killed him

There was a man named Mahatma Ghandi
He would not bow down, he would not fight
He knew the deal was 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 tried to make a stand
My god, they killed him !

Another man from Atlanta, Georgia
By the name of Martin Luther King
He shook the land like rolling thunder
And made the bells of freedom ring today

With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away
Just another holy man who dared to be a friend
My god, they killed him !

The only son of God Almighty
The holy one called Jesus Christ
Healed the lame 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 will never understand
My god, they killed him !

Sing about Mahatma Ghandi
Sing of Martin Luther King
Sing of Jesus Christ Almighty
And the brothers Kennedy

The song is on Kris' album "Repossessed" (1986)
