Abraham, Martin and John
BY Dion

YouTube - Abraham, Martin and John (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b_rqh_NzX0&feature=related)

Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can anybody tell me where he's gone
He freed a lot of people but it seems the good they die young
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can anybody tell me where he's gone
He freed a lot of people but it seems the good they die young
You know, I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can anybody tell me where he's gone
He freed a lot of people but it seems the good they die young
You know, I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things they stood for
Didn't they try to find the good in you and me
And we'll be free
Someday soon and it'sa going to be one day

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby
I thought I saw him walk up over the hill with Abraham, Martin and John

Dion sang it.beginning as only Abraham and John. Then after MLK it changed to Abraham. Martin and John. Then after Robert the lyrics were added but not the title as before. All this occurred within about 1 yr.
