John Frum at Woodstock

Joan Baez did not sing the following at Woodstock:

I dreamed I saw John Frum last night,
Alive as you and me.
Says I "But John, you're kinda dead"
"I never died" said he,
"I never died" said he.

Says I, "A plane ran over you
while walking in a field."
Says John, “You bitch I was in a ditch
Knocked on my ass you see.
Knocked on my ass you see.”

"The Cargo Cult you founded John,
Is 50 years old" says I.
"That’s a lot of stuff you gave to us"
Says John "I didn't lie"
Says John "I didn't lie"

In Tanna, Vanuatu man,
on every landing strip,
where cargo-men pick up the stuff,
it's there you find John Frum,
it's there you find John Frum!

I dreamed I saw John Frum last night,
alive as you and me.
Says I "Hey John, give me some stuff"
"I’m keeping it for me" said he,
"I’m keeping it for me" said he.
