Moms Mabley - Abraham, Martin And John lyrics

rate me

Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?<br />

Can you tell me where he's gone?<br />

He freed a lot of people, <br />

But it seems the good they die young.<br />

You know, I just looked around and he's gone.<br />

<br />

Anybody here seen my old friend John?<br />

Can you tell me where he's gone?<br />

He freed a lot of people, <br />

But it seems the good they die young.<br />

I just looked around and he's gone.<br />

<br />

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?<br />

Can you tell me where he's gone?<br />

He freed a lot of people, <br />

But it seems the good they die young.<br />

I just looked 'round and he's gone.<br />

<br />

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?<br />

Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?<br />

And we'll be free<br />

Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day... <br />

<br />

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?<br />

Can you tell me where he's gone?<br />

I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill, <br />

With Abraham, Martin and John.
