Abraham, Martin And John Lyrics
Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham,
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people, but it seems the good die young
But 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 lotta people, but it seems the good die young
But 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 lotta people, but it seems the good die young
But 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 for 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 walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John.
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people, but it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone.
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people, but it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone.
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lotta people, but it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone.
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
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John.

Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy. Bobby is probably Bobby Kennedy, but I don't know for sure.
Yes, Bobby Kennedy. Very clearly. It was written in 1968, shortly after Bobby's assassination. See wikipedia reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham%2C_Martin_and_John
You know when John was killed and then Martin was killed, many folks said, "Well, thank God we've still got Bobby Kennedy..." You know the rest.
