Abraham, Martin and John (Live at HBO’s from Washington, D.C, 1997) Lyrics

Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed alot of people
But the good they die young
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 alot of people
But the good they die young
I looked around and he's gone

Has Anybody here...
Seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me wherе he's gone?
He freed alot of pеople
But it seems the good they die young
I looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try...
To find some good
With for you and me?, Oh Yes
And we'll be free, And we'll be free, Oh yes sir
One of these days
Has anybody...
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walking up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin, and John

I looked around...
...And their gone

I looked around...
...And they're gone
And they are gone...

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 [?]
