Thread Name: Lyr Req: White House Blues (John Renbourn)
Subject: RE: John Renbourn's White House Blues
One that springs to mind is "Abraham, Martin, and John" referring to the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy, and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy (in the later versions). It was popular around 1968 (?) after RFK was shot in Los Angeles.
