Abraham, Martin and John/Precious Memories Lyrics

Has anybody her, 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
I just looked around, and he's gone

Has anybody her, 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
I just looked around, and he's gone

Has anybody her, seen my old friend Martin
Can you tell me where he's gone
He freed a lotta people
Ut it seems the good die young
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
Someday soon it's gonna be one day

Has anybody here, seen my old friend Bobby
Can you tell me where he's gone
Thought I saw him walking up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John
Precious memories
How they linger
How they ever flood my soul
Then, the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
