Abraham Martin And John
Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
You know 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 lotta people but it seems 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 lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that 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 where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin, and John

  • Katherine Hedlund

    I had heard this song sung by Dion and loved it. But then I once heard this woman, "Mom's Mabley" sing it and it was special. No, the vocal cords were very used and old, but the heart she put in the song gave it 'character' and a warmth that was truly from her heart. That made the song that much special. I wish I could hear it again.

  • Candy Matthews

    I grew up on Mom's Mabley, thank you for the reminder. Hugs

  • Comediologist Eddie Tafoya

    You can read all about her in "Icons of African American Comedy."

  • Lucas CorVatta

    Powerful song by a powerful woman!
