Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?

[Padraig18]

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

Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people but it seems the good 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 a lot of people but 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 in 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?
I thought I saw him walking up o'er the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John

1. That's the second time this week I've come across that song,

after not hearing it for - well, at least thirty years. It was so
relevant at the time it came out, simple and very sweetly sad.

2. I was listening to an oldies station last night, and they played it.

'Sweetly sad' is just exactly how it struck me.

3. I got the chills when I read this, Padraig18...

This has to be one of my all-time favorite songs. Thanks!!

4. I bought Rhino Records' "Protest Songs" CD for that.

And the guy from the Bronx has one of the best selections on it. Thanks for posting.
