He gave me the following lyrics (which sound familiar to me): Does anyone remember my good friend John...can you tell me where he's gone? Has anyone seen my good friend Martin..... I'm sure this must ring a bell in someone's ear. I just can't put my finger on it. Thanks, Michelle |

Emmylou Harris has a very nice recording of it on her "Live at the Ryman" CD, and a few other artists have also recorded it. I can't recall who did the original recording, but I'd highly recommend the Emmylou Harris album. I think the lyrics may be in the database here. -Joe Offer- |
