Abraham, Martin And John
(Dick Holler)

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

Has anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people but it seems the good die young
You know I just turned around and he's gone

Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people but it seems the good 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 some good for you and me?
And we'll be free some day
And not be one day

Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
Well, I saw him walkin' up o'er the hill
With Abraham, Martin, and John
Abraham, Martin, and John
