I wrote this track about the day that Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas on November 1963. 

Aparently, and the Warren Comission agreed he shot JFK, tearing the American Dream in pieces. 

But...did he? I wrote him a song, I really think he deserves it. 
Do you?

THE BALLAD OF LEE HARVEY OSWALD 
(Music & Lyrics by Mateo Garcia) 

Here's the Ballad of a man that could had been king 
But he lived like a pawn and died like a wimp 
Was the bullet of a mobster with the name of a jewel 
Whit his hands tied in cuffs that the police had give him 

He's a bad, bad man tell the parents to their children 
He's a lonesome nut thinks LBJ and his men 
That the man was a Communist, spy for the Russians 
That he supported Castro, down in New Orleans 

(chorus) 

Lee Harvey Oswald was his name 
And he was just a patsy (a pawn in the game) 
But everybody says that he shot JFK 
Three shots in six seconds and a life to waste 

He killed freedom with a shotgun 
And raped the American Dream 
He scattered his brains in Texas 
A magic bullet did the trick 

He could have lived in glory, with interviews in jails 
And all the papers guessing if he really was the man 
Write a book, shot a movie and get all the rights 
But the only right he got was a bullet in his gut 

It was November down in Dallas, when Lee was on the run 
Til they got him in the movies, and cuffed him on the ground 
Police Brutality! He screamed but no one heard 
Cause he was the bad man, that shot JFK 

Lee Harvey Oswald was his name 
He said he was Qjust a patsy (a pawn in the game) 
But everybody says that he shot JFK 
Three shots in six seconds and a dream that ends 

He killed freedom with a shotgun 
And raped the American Dream 
He scattered his brains in Texas 

(Spoken; ...and JFK was dead, dead...)

The Ballad of Lee Harvey Oswald

RAMBLIN' MATT was born in 1966 in Valencia, Spain and he has been involved in bands and performing since the early eighties. Right now is one half of the upcoming band based in Dénia (Alicante) Sara Gee & Ramblin Matt, with three albums since 2013 along her partner in life Sara Gee. Matt is a composer, arranger, guitar and slide player and singer and his first bands were rockabilly outfits in a time when only few dared to play these type of music in Spain, with bands like The Dalton Brothers and Ruzafa's Incorregibles. He formed Blackmailers with soul brother and gifted guitar player Silver Borras in 1998 after returning of living in the US for five years (Chicago, LA, Austin). Between 2006 and 2013 he has been a performing musician in London with his Vintage Rockabilly trio Los Jailbreakers, as a solitary act or with The Ramblin Matt Trio. He returned to Spain in mid 2013 when he meet Sara in a gig in Valencia and decided to stay for good after a tenure of over nearly 20 years away from his land of origin.

Matt writes his own material and also plays bold and faithful to the original arrangements of country & delta blues classics from the likes of Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Skip James, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Rev. Gary Davis, and Mississippi Fred McDowell among others featuring most of the times only lead vocals and guitar, played with or without slide.
