Arkie, Here's the "touch up."

ABRAHAM, MARTIN AND JOHN
Written by Dick Holler
As recorded by Dion on "Dion" (1968)

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

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

3. Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot o' people, but it seem the good, they die young,
I just looked 'round and he's gone.

BRIDGE: 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
Someday soon; it's gonna be one day.

4. 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.
