Abraham, Martin and John
Anybody here, seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
For he freed a lot of people, but the good, they die young
I just looked around and he's gone
Gone
Anybody here, seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
Oh, he freed a lot of people, but the good, they die young
I just looked around and he's gone, gone, gone
(Gone) gone
Anybody here, seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed some people, but the good, they die young
I just looked around and he's gone, gone, gone
(Gone) gone
Now didn't you love the things they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good, for you and me?
(For you and me), and we'll be free
Someday soon, its gonna be one day
Anybody here, seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me, can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walking way over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John
(Abraham, Martin and John) oh-oh
(Abraham, Martin and John) I thought I saw him wandering
(Abraham, Martin and John) though I heard them talking
(Abraham, Martin and John) about we the people
(Abraham, Martin and John) how to free the people
(Abraham, Martin and John) each one stood tall
(Abraham, Martin and John) and know they're all
Gone, gone, gone
Hallelu'
Can you tell me where he's gone?
For he freed a lot of people, but the good, they die young
I just looked around and he's gone
Gone
Anybody here, seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
Oh, he freed a lot of people, but the good, they die young
I just looked around and he's gone, gone, gone
(Gone) gone
Anybody here, seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed some people, but the good, they die young
I just looked around and he's gone, gone, gone
(Gone) gone
Now didn't you love the things they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good, for you and me?
(For you and me), and we'll be free
Someday soon, its gonna be one day
Anybody here, seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me, can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walking way over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John
(Abraham, Martin and John) oh-oh
(Abraham, Martin and John) I thought I saw him wandering
(Abraham, Martin and John) though I heard them talking
(Abraham, Martin and John) about we the people
(Abraham, Martin and John) how to free the people
(Abraham, Martin and John) each one stood tall
(Abraham, Martin and John) and know they're all
Gone, gone, gone
Hallelu'
