John Lennon Day at Havering Folk Club
Loudon Wainwright’s “Not John” followed by “Working Class Hero” written by John Lennon performed at Havering Folk Club on December 8th 2010 by Andy Roberts.
Later there was time for one more and I played "Bird On A Wire" by Leonard Cohen.

8/12/1980 RIP John Lennon
It was 28 years ago today John Lennon got shot.
This tribute song is by Loudon Wainwright III
NOT JOHN
The limousine was waiting outside the studio
In stepped poor John Lennon and his wife Yoko
Oh no, not John
On up 44th Street, left at 8th Avenue
Up to the Dakota; a man waits there for you
Oh no, yes John
The man's name it is Chapman, come from Honolulu
He really loved your music, John, got a Japanese wife, too
Oh no, poor Sean
Five bullets in your body, that's what the experts say
They say you signed an autograph for him on that very day
Oh no, not John
There was a vigil at the Roosevelt, at the Dakota too
Silence in Central Park, they had a riot in Liverpool
Now Chapman's in the jailhouse - what's he doing there?
He went and he shot John Lennon. All you heroes best beware
Oh no, not John
The limousine was waiting outside the studio
In stepped poor John Lennon and his wife Yoko
