Abraham, Martin & John

(album: Time Out For Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1969)

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

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people, but the good they die young
I just looked around and he's 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

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 soon, it's 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

And now they're all gone gone gone
Hallelu...
