Abraham, Martin and John

Dick Holler

[Verse 1]
Has anyone here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
I looked around and he was gone

[Verse 2]
(They've gone home)
Has anybody here seen my old friend John Kennedy?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
I looked around and he was gone

[Verse 3]
Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin Luther King?
Can you tell me where Martin is gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
I looked around and Martin was gone

[Bridge]
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to do some good for you and me?
That we'll be free
Some day

[Verse 4]
Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where Bobby has gone?
I think I saw him going over the hill
Abraham, Martin, Bobby, and John

[Outro]
I think I saw them going over the hill
Abraham, Martin, Bobby, and John
Shame, shame
[?]
(Anybody here seen my old friends?)
